Ukraine in the dark following Moscow’s recent attacks on the nation’s energy infrastructure

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky held a crisis meeting on his country’s energy breakdown, with much of Ukraine in the dark.

“We are working to create mobile power points for the critical infrastructure of cities, towns and villages,” Zelensky said. “We are preparing for various scenarios.”

Ukrainian energy officials will now launch emergency blackouts, in a bid to prevent the grid from overloading.

Around 40 per cent of the country’s critical power infrastructure has been damaged, as a result of Russian missiles.

Repairs works are underway, but in the meantime the country will experience nation-wide consumption restrictions.

“Of course, we will do everything possible to restore normal energy capabilities of our country. But this requires time and our combined effort,” Zelensky said.

Ukraine’s president is appealing to Ukrainians to become careful about electricity consumption.

“Please do not turn on unnecessary electrical appliances. Please limit electricity consumption on those appliances that require a lot of energy,” he added. “Tomorrow it is very important that consumption is as conscious as possible. Then the schedules of stabilisation outages will be shorter.”

During the address, Zelensky also thanked Ukraine’s armed forces for their success in shooting down Russia’s kamikaze drones and cruise missiles.

233 ‘Shaheds’ and dozens of missiles have been shot down by Ukraine’s military in just a few months. This includes 10 Iranian-made drones.
