Ukraine to impose electricity supply restrictions starting Thursday

Ukraine will start restricting electricity supplies across the country on Thursday after Russia knocked out more power plants, a senior aide to President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday.

"From 7am to 11pm, it is necessary to minimise the use of electricity ... if this is not done, you should prepare for temporary blackouts," Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of Zelensky's office, said in a Telegram post.
