Ukraine Boosts Power Imports Amid Escalating Energy Crisis

Ukraine is set to import a record 31,904 MWh of power on Friday following extensive damage to its energy infrastructure by Russian missile attacks. The intensified attacks since March have caused widespread blackouts, prompting Ukraine to turn to large-scale electricity imports from the European Union.

Ukraine plans record power imports on Friday after significant energy infrastructure damage by Russian missile attacks, Ukrainian power grid operator Ukrenergo said.

Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine's energy sector have intensified since March, resulting in blackouts in many regions, forcing Kyiv to start large-scale electricity imports from the European Union.

A ministry statement said that the country would import 31,904 megawatt hours (MWh) of power on Friday versus the previous record of 29,796 MWh on Wednesday.
