(MENAFN- UkrinForm) In Ukraine, 524 settlements remain without electricity supply due to hostilities and technological disruptions, the situation in the energy sector is difficult, but restrictions for consumers have not been introduced.
According to Ukrinform, this was reported by the Ministry of Energy .
It is noted that during the day in Ukraine, power engineers restored power to 7,220 consumers who were de-energized as a result of hostilities and technological disruptions.
The ministry calls on citizens to consume electricity economically and responsibly, especially during peak hours - from 17:00 to 22:00.
It is emphasized that the massive attacks by Russian troops have caused serious damage to the power system, and it remains vulnerable today.
