"The enemy continues to shell the energy infrastructure, so there is a significant deficit in Ukraine's energy system. And we must always have access to the Internet to stay in touch and continue working and studying," Fedorov wrote on Telegram.

He published an infographic with three simple tips on how to stay online in an emergency:

  • Download the map of "invincibility points" in Diia. This way you can always find the nearest place to charge your phone, connect to the Internet, or call your family. Go to Diia and download the map from the main screen of the app.
  • Connect to internet providers that use xPon technology. This will help you to have Internet for up to 72 hours during blackouts. Check whether your provider has connected xPon on the interactive map from the Ministry of Digital Transformation and LUN. If your provider has connected xPon, buy a power bank and connect it to your router.
  • Take advantage of national roaming:
  1. Disable network auto-selection: on Android: Settings - Mobile network or Connectivity - Carrier; on iOS: Settings - Cellular data - Network selection. 
  2. Find and select an available network. 
  3. If the connection fails, try again or select a different network. 
  4. Check the possibility of outgoing calls, SMS
