KYIV, June 7 – The Cabinet of Ministers ordered that ministries, central authorities, and regional state administrations stop using air conditioners, outdoor lighting of buildings and surrounding areas, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal has said.

"Russia continues to attack our energy sector. The energy system is integral. However, there remains a significant deficit in the system. This means that we can generate less electricity than we consume. To improve the situation, we are working from both sides simultaneously. We are restoring and expanding generation and at the same time reducing consumption," he said at a government meeting on Friday.
