Ukraine is experiencing significant electricity shortages, which causes consumption restrictions for industry.A record volume of electricity imports from 5 European countries is planned today.
As of 9:10 am, the electricity consumption was 6.7 percent bigger comparing with the previous working day, May 10.
The reason for shortages is large-scale damage to Ukrainian power plants, which cannot produce a sufficient amount of electricity. In this regard, it is planned to limit the consumption of electricity for industry from 5 to 12 pm.
The company also calls on the population to use electricity sparingly.
Electricity disruptions due to the ongoing Russian strikes are reported in 412 settlements in Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kherson, and Sumy regions.

In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
