Ukraine plans record electricity imports from five European countries on Monday after reporting significant energy infrastructure damage from Russian strikes, the energy ministry said.

Imports are expected to rise to 19,484 megawatt hours , beating the record of 18,649 Mwh at the end of March after the first wave of Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy sector.

"The reason for this is large-scale damage to Ukrainian power plants, which means they cannot produce as much electricity as before the attack." The grid operator said that emergency assistance from the European Union had already been provided from midnight to this morning, adding that power curbs for industrial consumers are expected this evening.

Last week's combined attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure caused serious damage at three thermal power plants, piling more pressure on the country's power grid.
