That’s according to the ministry’s press service, Ukrinform reports.

"Twenty-nine providers from all regions of Ukraine have received the batteries. Mostly they are in Kharkiv, Donetsk, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv, and Sumy. These are the regions that have the greatest issues with the internet due to blackouts," the statement says.
