Zelenskyy instructs government, law enforcement to prepare measures to speed up energy sector recovery

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has directed the government and law enforcement agencies to compile by the end of the day a list of measures to foster collaboration with energy firms experiencing delays in repairing infrastructure following Russian assaults. In a Telegram post on Wednesday, following a daily coordination call, Zelenskyy outlined that protracted repair operations are aggravated by ongoing Russian strikes and air raid warnings; however, essential equipment reserves have been established, and restoration must commence post every strike.

The President further disclosed partnerships concerning novel energy support packages. He highlighted that Kyiv presently confronts the most daunting predicament, where residents and businesses endure electricity and water scarcity spanning multiple hours. Similarly, the situation remains grave in Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv, Sumy, Poltava, Kharkiv, Cherkasy, Vinnytsia, and Donetsk regions, alongside the southern provinces.

Despite the challenging circumstances, Zelenskyy emphasized that throughout the entire nation, state institutions, regional authorities, local bodies, and all energy service providers, irrespective of ownership structure, must prioritize swift and comprehensive action.
