KYIV. Nov 4 (Interfax-Ukraine) – President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has appealed to energy companies to make power outages predictable and understandable.
“Now is definitely not the time for bright showcases, signs, advertisements and other such lighting. I also appeal to the energy companies – publicly, so that everyone can hear it. Please be more active in explaining to people when and why you disconnect this or that street, this or that district,” he said in his video address on Thursday.
According to the president, “now is the time for such microcommunications. People have a right to know. And if consumers contact and report this or that injustice in energy supply, please respond to it immediately. Work together with local authorities.”
“If someone stays without electricity for eight or ten hours, and everything is connected, including street lighting, across the street, then this is definitely unfair. It is necessary to do everything so that disconnections are predictable and completely understandable for consumers,” Zelensky said.
