Ukraine Resumes Electricity Exports, as Russian Strikes on Grid Lose Efficacy

DNIPRO, Ukraine—Ukraine will resume exporting electricity, a signal the country has withstood Russia’s monthslong assault on its power grid, while Moscow’s forces continued pushing to seize full control of the eastern city of Bakhmut. 

“The Ukrainian energy system has been operating for almost two months without consumer restrictions, with a reserve of capacity,” Herman Halushchenko, Ukraine’s energy minister, said Friday on Telegram, after signing paperwork to allow electricity exports to resume. “The most difficult winter has passed.”
