Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked power engineers for recovery work after Russian missile strikes and urged the population to actively participate in the program to exchange ordinary bulbs for LED lamps
“I want to separately thank for this week our power engineers, all the employees of the repair teams, local and central authorities, who were involved in the elimination of the consequences of the Russian terrorist strike on Thursday,” he said in a video message on Sunday.
According to him, “for today it was possible to restore the technical capabilities of electricity supply. Kharkiv – with light. Zhytomyr region – with electricity. All cities and communities where there were problems with power supply have been healed again.”
“I thank each and everyone who worked for this! By the way, our program of exchanging old bulbs for new LED-lamps is being actively implemented. In total, Ukrainians have already received 12 million LED-lamps. And if we talk about energy saving, this amount allows saving up to 600 megawatts of energy. Approximately it is, for example, more than half of the generation of the most powerful nuclear power plant unit, “- he said.
