We accelerate agreements on importing additional energy equipment – Zelensky

President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in his address, Ukrinform reports.

"There are arrangements for the import of generators and other equipment. We are accelerating all decisions as much as possible," Zelensky said.

He noted that repair work is ongoing in Kyiv region and Odesa region following a Russian attack. In Kharkiv, electricity supply has been disrupted for more than 400,000 residents as a result of the strikes.

"All repair crews and all necessary forces – everything is deployed. I am grateful to everyone who is working for restoration, for people, for their city, for their community. It is important that all political and legal decisions to increase electricity imports have already been made, and they must be implemented without delay. This applies to everyone – both state-owned companies and private ones – and I instructed government officials to address this promptly," Zelensky said.

He separately addressed the situation in Kyiv, where all services have been engaged in response. In particular, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has deployed additional support points.

He emphasized the need to speed up the implementation of decisions, including organizing hot meals for residents. The Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Development, and other agencies must also check the heating situation in residential buildings, he added.

As reported, Zelensky held an energy coordination meeting on January 17.
