"Ukrenergo: the situation with electricity supply in Kharkiv may improve by the end of next week

The situation with the power supply in Kharkiv, which suffered a massive enemy missile attack, may improve in about 8-9 days. The head of Ukrenergo, Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, said this during a telethon, UNN reports.

"I don't want to make any predictions, as the situation is really complicated, and I wouldn't want to make promises we can't fulfill. But I think that at the end of next week or in 8-9 days we will be able to significantly improve the situation with the city's energy supply," said Kudrytskyi.

He stated that the situation in Kharkiv is the most difficult, but the power companies are working and the inconveniences are temporary.

"Kharkiv has the most difficult situation. We have three options to ensure increased electricity supply to the city's consumers, and we are pursuing these three options in parallel," he said during the telethon.

According to him, the first units of equipment that power engineers will be able to power up under any scenario will ease the situation in the city.

According to Kudrytskyi, the situation in Kharkiv region is better, because the enemy tried to cut off power to the regional center.
