“We understand that if Russia continues such attacks, we may lose our entire electricity system. Officials in the capital have been told that they would be likely to have at least 12 hours' notice that the grid was on the verge of failure. If it reaches that point, we will start informing people and requesting them to leave. For now at least, the situation is manageable, and there were no indications that large numbers of civilians were fleeing Kyiv. If there's no power, there will be no water and no sewage. That's why currently the government and city administration are taking all possible measures to protect our power supply system.”
