Russian invaders left almost the entire Luhansk region without electricity, damaging a high-voltage power line in the Luhansk region, leaving 215 settlements without electricity. Over the past 24hrs, the power supply to about 33.1 thousand consumers has been restored.

In particular, in Kyiv region - 12.1 thousand consumers, #Mykolaiv - 10.1 thousand, Kharkiv - 5 thousand, #Zaporozhzhia - 4.1 thousand, Donetsk - 1.8 thousand consumers.
As of April 19, about 847 settlements in Ukraine remain without electricity - about 760.2 thousand consumers.

In particular, in #Donetsk region - over 276 thousand consumers, #Kharkiv - 204 thousand, #Luhansk - 108 thousand, #Kyiv - 80.8 thousand consumers.
Gas supply has been restored to almost 14,000 consumers. Over 244,000 consumers are without gas supply.

The hardest situation with gas supply is in Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Mykolaiv, and Kharkiv regions.

International support and sanctions.

President Emmanuel Macron says he supports a full oil and gas embargo on Russia. Sanctions have toppled oil refining in Russia.

Russian companies continue to reduce oil refining due EU and US sanctions. In two weeks of April, oil refining decreased by 6% to 674.8 thousand tons per day and is forecast to continue to fall.

Sanctions should be extended to secondary gas pipelines in #Russia - transmission system operator.
The #EU sanctions should cover not only natural gas, but also Russia's gas infrastructure, the press service of the transmission system operator said.

These are the Nord Stream-1 and Turkish Stream gas pipelines.

#Denmark wants to give up Russian gas, willing to significantly increase green energy production and gas production in the North Sea to cut off supplies from Russia.
