Last week, the enemy carried out the largest attacks on power facilities of the country in recent times, damaging electricity generation, transmission and distribution facilities, thus, causing the need to limit power consumption. In particular, in accordance with the NPC Ukrenergo order, emergency power shutdowns had to be introduced to stabilize the situation in the Donetsk region.

However, thanks to the coordinated work of all energy workers, they managed to stabilize the energy system of the region. Over the past week, DTEK Donetsk Grids specialists managed to completely or partially restore electricity to residents of 32 settlements, thus restoring power to 48,072 families.

At the same time, active hostilities do not stop in the Donetsk region. According to Vadym Filashkin, head of the region, the enemy shelled Pokrovsk, Kramatorsk and Bakhmut districts yesterday.
