Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the situation with electricity supply in Brovary and Bila Tserkva unacceptable, where people have been without power for several days. Reports from these cities contained inaccurate information.
He said this in his evening address.
“There was a tough conversation today with government officials on a conference call. The situation in Bila Tserkva and Brovary is absolutely unacceptable — when people were without power not just for hours, but for several days. And at the same time, reports from the ground gave different information,” the statement said.
The President noted that problems must be resolved, not covered up.
Zelenskyy also spoke about restoration work in Konotop and Shostka and said that people there will receive the necessary assistance.
“But when, somewhere in the regions, municipal services and certain companies are not doing enough, there must be a response — and a very swift one,” the head of state added.
There was also a conversation with the mayors of Ukrainian cities — from all parts of Ukraine. They discussed the main challenges and determined how to respond to them at the central level and at the level of regional and local authorities.
- Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the Ministry for Communities must prepare additional tools for co-operation with cities and communities to speed up recovery after enemy strikes.
