Zelensky declares emergency measures for Ukraine's energy sector, centred on Kyiv
Confirmedon an admission by the acting party plus an independent origin: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.
President Zelensky announced emergency measures for the energy sector with a focus on Kyiv, after several days of Russian missile and drone strikes left about 70% of the capital without power on 13 January. The measures included a round-the-clock coordination task force, a review of the midnight curfew so residents could reach heated 'invincibility points', faster grid connection for backup equipment and higher electricity imports. Zelensky said the consequences of the strikes and the weather were severe. Repairs were slowed by icy conditions and shortages of spare equipment.
