Ukrainian President Volodirmir Zelenski reiterated his request to the citizens of Ukraine on Tuesday to reduce their electricity consumption due to the moment of energy crisis that the country is facing after the Russian attacks on power plants throughout the Ukrainian territory.

“Each and every one of those who follow these simple rules for rush hours are helping the whole country,” the Ukrainian president said in his daily message to the country’s population, calling on Ukrainians to explain to relatives , friends and neighbors the need for energy savings.
Meanwhile, Zelenski has announced that a general meeting on the energy situation facing the country is scheduled for Wednesday, assuring that the Executive is working “in all possible scenarios.”

The Ukrainian head of state has stated that, despite the fact that for the moment thanks to Iranian drones, Russian troops have “certain hopes”, “everything will collapse, as well as their previous calculations”.
“237 days of this war prove that we are capable of finding an answer to any threat, if we act together, all Ukrainians and the peoples of the free world,” Zelensky added.
