Curfew may be lifted in some of Ukraine's cities during energy emergency – Zelenskyy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has instructed the government to review curfew rules, saying it may be lifted for some cities and hromadas during the energy emergency. [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]

Quote: "I have instructed a review of the curfew rules: during the state of emergency we can remove the curfew for some cities and hromadas. Where the security situation allows, of course.

Government officials must present the relevant proposals so people can receive all necessary support at any time and so businesses can plan their work more rationally."

Details: Zelenskyy also said that an emergency situation in the energy sector will be formally recorded in legal terms, enabling more flexibility. The Cabinet of Ministers (Ukrainian government) will, where possible, simplify everything related to connecting back-up energy equipment to the grid so there are no bureaucratic constraints.

Quote: "I have instructed an increase in the ability to import electricity, using all business opportunities. In Kyiv and other cities there must be more support centres for people, invincibility centres."
