Svyrydenko: Damage to power system in Odesa significant, restoration takes time
Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Svyrydenko says that damage to the power system in Odesa is significant, so restoring the grids of the entire city takes time.
"I listened to reports from the leadership of Odesa Regional Military Administration and relevant services regarding the restoration of Odesa following the shelling of its energy infrastructure. Power has been restored to over 180,000 consumers. Work to supply all districts of the city continues around the clock," wrote Svyrydenko on her Telegram channel.
According to Svyrydenko, heat has been restored to all districts, and the phased launch of individual boiler houses is underway.
"The centralized water supply in the city has been fully restored. Drinking and technical water is provided as requested. Emergency response centers and field kitchens are operating in the city," she added, noting that the government is constantly monitoring the situation.
She noted that the damage to the power system is significant and that restoring the entire city's grids will take time.
According to reports, energy workers restored electricity to 184,000 consumers in Odesa region and 345,000 in Mykolaiv region on Saturday and Sunday after one of the Russian Federation's most massive strikes since the beginning of the war.
