Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal on Tuesday called on Ukrainians to limit their electricity use after Russian strikes left energy facilities across the country badly damaged.

"We are asking you today to again to limit your electricity consumption. In peak hours -- between 5:00 pm and 11:00 pm -- please do not turn on energy-intensive appliances... as the terrorist state is continuing massive attacks on the energy infrastructures of our country for the second day in a row," Shmyhal said on Telegram.
