What is the situation in the Dnepropetrovsk region
Nikolai Lukashuk said that as a result of damage to power plants in the region, a blackout occurred. However, citizens should be prepared that closures can be lengthy.
The situation with the supply of electricity in the region remains difficult, the Russians have caused significant damage to our energy system. We have a blackout again. Please be prepared for extended outages. Russian terrorists will never achieve their goal. They will be shot in the teeth, captured, they will die on the battlefield. And they will never break Ukraine,
Lukashuk stressed.
According to the head of the Dnepropetrovsk OVA Valentina Reznychenko, as of 16:00 there was only enough electricity in the region for the minimal supply of critical infrastructure: hospitals, boilers, sewage pumping stations and water mains. No forecasts have yet been made about the resumption of power supply to residential buildings, because the situation remains difficult.
However, energy engineers are working to quickly stabilize the situation in the region.
