Ukraine will resume electricity supplies to the occupied areas of the Luhansk region, if the debt for the electricity supplied earlier is repaid, said Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Igor Nasalik.

"If payments are made and the debt is repaid, we will resume the supply of electricity," the minister said on the air of the TV channel "112. Ukraine "in the evening on Tuesday, April 25.

Nasalik stressed that the decision to stop the electricity supply to the OPLO was made for economic, not political reasons.

"All enterprises registered in the uncontrolled territory of the Lugansk region were completely" nationalized ". Payment for the last two months was zero. Therefore, the disconnection is not the decision of the Cabinet, "the head of the Ministry of Energy said.

According to Nasalik, Ukraine handled 4.5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per day to the occupied territory of the Luhansk Oblast.

The minister assured that the debt obligations of enterprises located in the occupied part of the Donetsk region are much less than in the ORLO, so their electricity supply has not yet been stopped.
