Moskal said that on March 29 maintenance crews were able to repair weather damage to the energy supply system in the village of Novotoshkivske, but the village of Triokhizbenka remains without power.

"In addition, there is no power in the village of Stanytsia Luhanska and seven surrounding villages that are provided with power from transmission lines coming from the occupied territories,” Moskal said.

“As a result, the central heating and water supply systems do not work, and there are problems with mobile communications. It is unknown when the electricity can be restored there.”
