Zelensky: Ukraine currently generating more electricity than it consumes

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on video that his nation is currently producing more electricity than it uses. However, he emphasized that ongoing Russian strikes on energy infrastructure have led to severe power shortages in key areas. These include Kyiv and regions in the north, east, and center of Ukraine. Zelensky pledged to bolster repair teams and provide necessary equipment to combat the shortages.

He also highlighted the ongoing need for extensive coordination efforts to address the aftermath of Russian missile attacks. Russian President Vladimir Putin's campaign of ballistic missile strikes against Ukraine continues unabated, causing significant damage to energy facilities and logistics centers. Ukrainian officials are working to restore power, with efforts underway in regions such as Dnipropetrovsk, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Kyiv, and Zhytomyr.

Zelensky mentioned that logistics challenges have also been a focus of discussions. Meanwhile, Russian forces have targeted bridges across the Dnipro River, disrupting the flow of electricity from generation sites to urban centers.
