Heavy fighting is ongoing in the Donetsk region. The enemy continues to shell the region from artillery, launches missile and air strikes, which already became constant. Constant shelling continues to destroy peaceful towns, including the energy infrastructure of the region. Despite all risks of the frontline region, energy workers continue repairs and were able to completely or partially restore electricity to residents of 286 settlements in March, thus restoring power to 199,028 homes.

Including last week, when energy workers managed to restore power to residents of 37 settlements in the Donetsk region, thus restoring access to electricity for 25,500 homes.

Emergency crews of the energy company repair lines, damaged by the enemy, and are doing everything possible to restore power to settlements, affected by shelling.
