On Saturday, June 22, hourly power outage schedules will be applied in all regions of Ukraine from 16.00 to 24.00, the Ukrenergo press service said in a statement .
“From 18:00 to 23:00 the volume of restrictions will be greater,” say energy workers.
Ukrenergo explained that the reason for this is the consequences of massive attacks by the Russian army on energy facilities.
In addition, the press service assured that “the power supply to critical infrastructure will not be limited.”
Ukrainian energy facilities have been regularly attacked by Russian missiles and drones over the past months. According to Ukrenergo, forced power outages are the result of six combined targeted attacks by the Russian Federation on the Ukrainian energy system. Electricity is significantly insufficient to cover the needs of all consumers.
