The enterprises and railways had problems with electricity on December 5 and 6. There is limit of power provided to the railways and enterprises. Because of this, there are problems with loading and unloading", – said Valery Tkachev, deputy commercial director of state-owned railway operator Ukrzaliznytsia JSC.
