Ukraine faces rolling blackouts

The mayor of the Ukrainian capital, Vitaliy Klitschko, said on the air of the Ukraine 24 TV channel that rolling blackouts, which have not happened for more than 20 years, may return to Kiev

He specified that in case frosty weather lasts for several weeks at -15 degrees, the probability of rolling blackouts, which we haven’t seen for 20 years, is very high.

Klitschko added that the energy crisis, among other things, may lead to higher food prices.

According to the Kiev mayor, 12 enterprises in Kiev that produce heat and electricity are currently experiencing problems with gas and coal.
