Quote from Zelenskyy: "It must be understood: even if there are no massive missile attacks, this does not mean there are no problems. Nearly every day there is shelling, missile strikes and drone attacks in many oblasts.
Energy facilities are hit almost every day. We have to reduce the limits for everyone in the grid, due to losses in the [energy] system."
Details: The President noted that the areas most affected by scheduled power outages are Lviv, Vinnytsia, Kyiv, Ternopil, Sumy, Zakarpattia, Zhytomyr and Khmelnytsky oblasts and the city of Kyiv.
Background: DTEK, Ukraine's national power regulator, reports that it will take much longer to restore power facilities in Odesa Oblast than it did after previous Russian missile attacks. The authorities say it could take up to 2-3 months.
