Please limit your electricity consumption and use those appliances that consume a lot of energy."Tomorrow, it is very important that the consumption is as conscious as possible, and thus the schedules of stabilisation blackouts will be shorter."We will do everything possible to restore the normal energy capabilities of our country. But it takes time. And this requires our joint efforts."According to the President, 30 per cent of Ukrainian power stations had been damaged by the recent Russian air strikes.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
