Russia has carried out another massive attack on Ukraine’s power grid. As a result of the damage caused by the enemy, emergency power cuts have been introduced in Kyiv and most regions.
This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian" with reference to Ukrenergo on Telegram.
“The previously published hourly power outage schedules are no longer valid. Emergency power cuts will be canceled once the situation in the power grid stabilizes. Please follow the announcements on the official websites of your region’s power companies,” Ukrenergo said.
The company also urged the public to follow the announcements on the official websites of regional power companies to stay informed about the current situation with power outages.
