Ukraine Slashes Electricity Imports by 31% in April

KYIV (Reuters) -Ukraine, whose power system has been under constant Russian missile and drone attacks, reduced electricity imports by 31% in April after an 11% increase in March thanks to warm weather, Ukrainian ExPro consultancy said on Thursday.

The consultancy said Ukraine imported 187 gigawatt hours in April against 272 GWh in March.

ExPro said most of the electricity - 44% - was supplied from Hungary. Ukraine also imported electricity from Slovakia and Poland.

Ukrainian officials have said the Russian attacks deprived Ukraine of half of its generating capacity, some of which Kyiv has managed to restore.
