Prime Minister Yulia Svyridenko discussed with mobile operators how to ensure stable communication even during long power outages. More than 8,000 base stations are already running on generators, and operators have purchased more than 15,000 backup power sources. Ukrainians will be able to call and send SMS even in crisis situations. Yuliya Svyridenko is working as the Acting Minister of Digital Transformation Oleksandr Bornyakov.
Prime Minister of Ukraine Yuliya Svyridenko held a meeting with the top management of mobile operators to discuss measures to support communication and the Internet during power outages. “A stable connection is important for the livelihood of people and communities,” she emphasized.
According to the government, more than 8,000 base stations are already running on generators, and operators have additionally purchased more than 15,000 backup power sources. 92% of the stations are equipped with batteries that provide up to 8 hours of operation, and more than a third have generators that allow them to operate for more than three days.
Acting Oleksandr Bornyakov, Minister of Digital Transformation, noted that operators have implemented a number of solutions for network autonomy. In particular, simplified bureaucratic procedures according to the Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 1532 allow communities to connect backup base stations faster, and the Coordination Headquarters for Communication Stability ensures prompt response in crisis situations.
“I thank the government for supporting these decisions and all representatives of the field for their hard work in difficult conditions,” concluded the Prime Minister. Officials assure that Ukrainians will be able to stay in touch and send SMS even during any power supply problems.
