Ukraine's Electricity Imports Surge 11% in March Amid Crisis

KYIV (Reuters) - Ukraine, whose power system has been under constant Russian missile and drone attacks, increased electricity imports by 11% to 272 Gigawatt hours in March from February, Ukrainian ExPro consultancy said on Tuesday.

ExPro said in a report that 42% of the volume was imported from Hungary, 19% from Slovakia, 18% from Poland and 16% from Romania.

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

Last month the United States reached separate deals with Ukraine and Russia to pause their attacks at sea and against energy targets, but both sides have since accused each other of violating the agreements.
