Moscow has been intensifying strikes on Ukraine’s energy system in recent months, disrupting electricity supplies and forcing Ukrainian officials to ask consumers to conserve electricity.
Maksym Kozycki, the governor of the western Lviv region, called on residents from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m. do not connect appliances that use a lot of electricity, such as kettles, irons, washing machines, microwave ovens.
“The energy system is struggling to maintain a balance between production and consumption,” he said in a Telegram post.
