Russia's attacks on Ukraine are continuing. After the blast on the bridge connecting Russia and Ukraine, Russia has given full force to attack Ukraine. Many power plants in Ukraine have been destroyed in these attacks. The power crisis in Ukraine could deepen due to the destruction of the power plant. In such a situation, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has taken an important decision.

40 percent of power generation capacity destroyed

Ukraine's energy officials say the country's electricity supply will have to be banned. Officials said 40 per cent of the country's power generation capacity has been destroyed. In this situation they have no option but to ban power supply and blackout in the country.

"Unfortunately, according to the new figures, about 40 percent of the total infrastructure and our production capacity have actually been seriously damaged," an adviser to Ukraine's energy minister told CNN. Repairs are being done to improve the situation, but miracles happen only occasionally.' He further added that therefore, we should not only expect emergency but also power cuts today and tomorrow to avoid overloading the grid. 

The lights will remain on till 10 pm

Ukraine's national energy company NPC Ukrenergo has appealed to consumers for support. The company said that the power ban could be implemented from 7 am to 10 pm. The power company said that the enemy cannot compete with our army. That's why they are attacking the power infrastructure. 

Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has also reacted to the attacks on power plants. Addressing the countrymen late last night, Zelenskyy said that Ukraine's vital energy infrastructure has been badly damaged. Zelenskyy said, "We will certainly do all the necessary work to restore energy in the country, but this requires time and our joint effort." During his address, Zelenskyy also urged the countrymen to be careful about the use of electricity.
