Jan 14 (Reuters) – President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Wednesday he would declare a state of emergency in the energy sector to tackle issues with disrupted power supplies following sustained Russian attacks on infrastructure.

“Overall, a state of emergency will be declared for Ukraine’s energy sector,” Zelenskiy wrote in English on the X social media platform. He said work was underway “to significantly increase the volume of electricity imports into Ukraine”.
