Power is starting to be restored after Russian attacks on power plants, but emergency blackouts may still be needed, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Saturday, Reuters reported.

In recent weeks, Russia has focused drone and missile strikes on energy facilities across the country, knocking out more than 30 percent of generating capacity and causing widespread blackouts.

“Today there are significantly fewer stabilization (measures) and emergency power outages… but restrictions are still possible in some cities and districts,” Zelenskyy said in a video message.

He also accused Russia of attacking factories that were under repair and said some technicians had been killed.
