Zelensky Instructs Government, Law Enforcement To Speed Up Repairs And Ensure Electricity, Heating, And Water Supplies
The President held a coordination call to discuss efforts to deal with the aftermath of Russian strikes and restore electricity supplies.
“Russian strikes continue virtually every day, and work to restore energy infrastructure is likewise continuing around the clock. I thank all repair crews, every energy company, the specialists of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, and all the services involved that are truly working effectively for people and to ensure that cities and communities have the necessary utilities,” Zelensky said.
“Unfortunately, due to repeated strikes and constant air raid alerts, repairs are taking significantly longer. But reserves of the necessary equipment have been built up, and restoration must follow every strike. We are working with our partners to replenish our reserves promptly – agreements on new energy support packages are already in place,” the President stressed.
He added that the situation was particularly difficult in Kyiv, where residents and businesses were experiencing power and water outages lasting many hours.
The Head of State also said that the situation was challenging in the Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv, Sumy, Poltava, Kharkiv, Cherkasy, and Vinnytsia regions, as well as in the Donetsk region, where hostilities pose extraordinary challenges. Rolling and emergency power outages are also in effect in the southern regions.
“But no matter how difficult things are, government agencies, regional and local authorities, and EVERY company that supplies people with electricity, heat, and water must work as swiftly and comprehensively as possible across the entire country – regardless of the ownership structure of these companies,” the President said.
