Ukraine will live under emergency shutdowns for up to five weeks.

Ukrainian energy companies need from two to five weeks to restore stability to the energy system after Russian strikes on energy facilities, said Oleksandr Kharchenko, director of the Energy Research Center. According to the director, the main problem is not the amount of electricity produced by the country but the damage to its transportation routes. In turn, the executive director of DTEK, Dmytro Sakharuk, believes that the emergency power outages will continue for another two weeks if there is no new damage or destruction. Saharuk also noted a deficit in the power system despite the shutdowns because people are not conserving enough electricity. Greater conservation before the power is turned off and when it resumes is necessary to eliminate this deficit.
