The situation with energy supply in Ukraine after the largest attack of the Russian Federation on the country's energy sector on August 26 should improve within a week, believes Director of the Energy Industry Research Center Oleksandr Kharchenko.

"I think that within a week the situation with energy supply should improve significantly. In three or four days this will already be noticeable," he said in a commentary to Energy Reform on Tuesday.

The Director of the Energy Industry Research Center explained such forecasts by the nature of the damage, which allows specialists to restore the capabilities of the energy system relatively quickly.

At the same time, he emphasized that the forecast is relevant in the absence of new damage to energy facilities.

"It is difficult to say yet whether it will be possible to avoid shutdown schedules at all, but the restrictions should be reduced in the near future," Kharchenko added.

He stressed that power engineers are working on restoring damaged facilities in an intensified manner.
