Electricity to be restored
Head of the Donetsk regional military administration Pavel Kirilenko stressed that electricity in the Donetsk region will not disappear. Recently, rumors have been circulating in the region that the power supply will be completely cut off, even the date is called. Kirilenko denied this.
