SITUATION IN THE FRONTLINE REGIONS
The occupiers continue to terrorise the frontline and border areas. Four settlements in Donetsk region were cut off from electricity due to shelling. Some consumers in Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson and Chernihiv regions are also without electricity.
REPAIR TEAMS ARE WORKING WHERE THE SECURITY SITUATION ALLOWS
In total, power companies have supplied power to 24,500 consumers over the past day. Most of them are customers in Donetsk region.

The water level in the ZNPP cooling pond remains stable at 15.72 metres. This is sufficient to meet the needs of the plant.
