Kiev Regions Authorities Ban Use Of Holiday Illumination - Governor

Kiev Region Governor Oleksiy Kuleba said on Thursday that the use of garlands and other holiday illumination was prohibited in the region.

"The use of holiday illumination  garlands, light decorations, and suchlike is prohibited on the territory of the Kiev region," Kuleba said on Telegram.

The governor noted that the measure is caused by the need to save energy, and it applies to municipal, commercial, and state property.

Ukrainian energy, military, and communications infrastructure have been targeted by the Russian armed forces since October 10 in retaliation for the terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge, which Moscow says was carried out by the Ukrainian special services.
