Ukraine may face an increase in electricity shortages this summer caused by recent Russian attacks on power stations amid rising consumption and a repair campaign at nuclear power plants, the head of the country's grid operator said on Friday.

The ECB left interest rates unchanged last month but made clear that its next move will be a cut, most likely on June 6, provided wage and inflation data stay on their current, relatively benign path. "It was seen as plausible that the Governing Council would be in a position to start easing monetary policy restriction at the June," the ECB said in the account of the April 10-11 meeting.
