Strain on the energy system: Kyiv and regions
Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the electricity supply situation in the capital remains particularly difficult. Residents and businesses are suffering from multi-hour power and water outages.
The head of state announced this following a video conference on eliminating the consequences of Russian attacks.
Energy supply problems also exist in a number of other regions. According to the president, a difficult situation has arisen in Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv, Sumy, Poltava, Kharkiv, Cherkasy, Vinnytsia, and Donetsk oblasts. In the southern regions, rotational outages and emergency shutdowns are in effect.
Causes of delays and available reserves
Zelensky noted that repair work is being delayed due to repeated Russian strikes and air raid alerts. At the same time, he emphasised that Ukraine has established reserves of necessary equipment, and agreements have already been reached with partners on new packages of energy support.
Instructions to the government and security services
«В усій державі повинна бути максимально оперативна та повна робота державних структур, обласних і місцевих влад, кожної компанії, які забезпечують людей електрикою, теплом і водою», — наголосив президент. ("Throughout the state, there must be maximally operational and complete work by state structures, regional and local authorities, and every company that provides people with electricity, heat, and water.")
He instructed the government and law enforcement agencies to prepare a list of measures by the end of the day to ensure full cooperation with companies lagging in repairs and the restoration of energy infrastructure. Zelensky stressed that this applies to enterprises regardless of their form of ownership.
Electronic warfare operations
Separately, during the meeting, the Armed Forces command reported on the organisation of electronic warfare operations. Following the discussion, the necessary steps were determined.
