Kyiv • UNN
Due to hostile shelling and damage to energy facilities, there may be limited power supply to household consumers during peak hours from 18:00 to 23:00, but a complete blackout is not expected in Ukraine.
There will be no blackout in Ukraine. There may be restrictions during peak hours that may affect household consumers. This was stated by Artem Martyniuk, acting CEO of Ukrainian Distribution Networks, during a telethon on Thursday, a UNN correspondent reports.
There will be no blackout. In my opinion, the Russians will not be able to apply a total blackout. There may be restrictions during peak hours that may affect us as consumers. We will have some problems with power outages from 18:00 to 23:00, but I emphasize once again that there is no question of a blackout
