Quote: "All day long, the energy staff worked to restore the normal technical possibility of electricity supply. As a result, today there are already significantly fewer emergency shutdowns. As of the evening, in most regions where shutdowns continue, stabilisation hourly schedules were in effect. Emergency shutdowns were used to a greater extent in the Odesa region and Kyiv."
