According to statements made following an inter-institutional meeting, the recent storm has resulted in substantial infrastructure damage across the country. M. Sinkevičius noted that the adverse weather conditions have led to the fact that many residents remain without electricity, and over 60,000 people are currently without mobile phone coverage.
Speaking on Monday, Sinkevičius expressed that the speed of recovery efforts needs to accelerate. He emphasized that all available resources and personnel must be mobilized to resolve the situation as quickly as possible. He stated that the directive given to the managers of the Energy Distribution Operator (ESO) – Lrytas was to gather every possible effort, including contractors and subcontractors, to expedite restoration efforts.
