MADRID, 19 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
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.
Specifically, the Ukrainian government has recommended that citizens make “conscious” use of electricity between 5:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. (local time), claiming that the more consumption is reduced, the more stable the energy system will be.
“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.”

“For decades, they have spent billions of dollars on their military-industrial complex and, in the end, have bowed to Tehran to get fairly simple drones and missiles,” Zelensky quipped, assuring that strategically asking Iran for help will not help Russia. in any case.
The Ukrainian head of state has stated that, despite the fact that for the time being 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.
