Head of the Odessa Oblast
According to him, the main reason for making this decision was the consequences of the recent Russian attack on energy facilities in the region.
What is important to understand is that because of it, about 50 thousand residents of the region have been left without normal living conditions for more than 3 days.
In addition, it is indicated that the heads of military administrations, heads of communities, and National Police bodies were ordered to conduct preventive and explanatory work with entrepreneurs regarding the need for minimal use of illumination and decorative lighting.
Also, part of the reserve fund was sent to communities to replenish fuel and lubricants stocks.
This is necessary to ensure the uninterrupted operation of generators that power critical infrastructure facilities: hospitals, educational institutions, inviolability points, and other vital institutions, Kiper explained.
