The self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) has disconnected from power supply from Ukraine and has fully switched to power supply from Russia, the administration of the Luhansk region of Ukraine has reported.

"The self-proclaimed republic is taking all electrical power from the Russian Federation," Hennadiy Moskal, the head of the Luhansk region's administration, said.

Moskal reiterated that the LPR "had fully disconnected from power supply from Ukraine" as of Friday.

"That is, the thermal electrical power plant in Schastia and the thermal electrical power plant in Severodonetsk are not supplying a single kilowatt to the occupied territories," Moskal said on the official page of the Luhansk region's state administration on Facebook on Friday morning.
