The situation is most difficult in the frontline areas, because in addition to the outage schedules, there are often technological disruptions due to shelling. Unfortunately, almost every day we receive new damage to lines and cables, which affects the state of the power system in these regions

We have now accumulated all the resources we can, including our internal resources and assistance from our partners. We are constantly working to ensure that our energy companies have enough equipment to restore and carry out repairs. Today, we have additional contributions to the energy support fund and are constantly purchasing additional equipment. On a bilateral basis, our partner colleagues help us directly by purchasing their existing equipment
