Ukraine’s sole power grid operator has announced that power outages have been implemented in multiple regions as it prepares to stabilise the energy supply damaged by recent Russian drone and missile attacks.
Ukrenergo said in a statement that people in the capital Kyiv, as well as Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Poltava regions were without power as of 6am local time.
Consumption restrictions are necessary to reduce the load on the grid, ensure sustainable balancing of the power grid and avoid repeated accidents, it said.
