Zelenskyy: Ukraine Now Generates More Electricity Than It Consumes

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that as of today, Ukraine now generates more electricity than it consumes. However, this positive development is overshadowed by the significant power shortages caused by Russian strikes, which can be seen in Kyiv and other northern, eastern, and central regions of the country. In an address published on the Office of the President of Ukraine's YouTube channel, Zelenskyy emphasized the need to increase the number of repair crews and supply all necessary equipment to address the issue.

He reported that extensive coordination took place on Saturday in the recovery efforts following Russian strikes.

Zelenskyy highlighted that Russia's ongoing ballistic strike campaign against Ukraine continues, with significant hits on energy and logistics infrastructure, partly due to the shortage of Patriots. The efforts to restore electricity are ongoing in the Kyiv and Zhytomyr regions, as well as in communities crucial for transmitting electricity from generation to cities. Logistics issues were also discussed in a separate context.

Moreover, Zelenskyy reminded the audience of the Russian attacks on bridges across the Dnipro, which stretch from Kyiv to Zaporizhzhia. Earlier reports indicated that during a massive coordinated attack conducted in the dead of night, Russian forces damaged generating equipment and transmission substations in six regions.
