Kudrytsky said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a separate meeting on  the power supply to Kryvyi Rih and the surrounding areas.

We have very clear plans and tasks that we have to do to not only restore power supply but also to restore its reliability. To do this, we, together with our colleagues from other energy companies, will be working hard in the coming days. We are planning to visit Kryvyi Rih once again to agree and coordinate all action plans with the local authorities and other energy companies on the spot

We have been preparing very carefully and thoroughly for the heating season. We have accumulated unprecedented stocks of both materials and equipment. We have what we need to repair, we have very experienced and very professional repair teams. The only thing we need is time. I emphasize that we are talking about the reliability of electricity supply. Our goal is to ensure that consumers in Kryvyi Rih have electricity all the time, so that the work we are already doing does not feel
