Ukraine's Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal discussed with the G7 ambassadors the urgent need to increase air defense systems to protect lives and critical infrastructure from Russian shelling.
Due to a Russian attack on critical infrastructure in southern Ukraine, power was cut off in Kherson Oblast, but subscribers have already begun to be reconnected.
In Kryvyi Rih district, Dnipro region, and Kharkiv region, electricity consumption for industry has been restricted, and in Kharkiv, electric transport has been limited.
Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure led to emergency power outages in Mykolaiv and Kherson regions, but restrictions have now been lifted and all consumers are supplied with electricity.
Russian attacks have damaged energy infrastructure in Mykolaiv and Odesa regions, causing emergency power outages and fires, and there are reports of injuries.
The government is focusing on repair work, attracting international assistance, decentralizing generation, and strengthening air defense to ensure energy security and minimize risks to the energy sector amid Russian attacks on energy infrastructure.
Ukrainian power engineers have restored a 330 kV high-voltage line, which is part of the backup power supply scheme of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, after it was disconnected due to enemy shelling.
Due to enemy shelling of the energy infrastructure, 500,000 consumers in the Kharkiv region remain without power, and some homes had electricity for only 6 hours a day the day before.

Due to russia's recent massive attacks on Ukrainian power plants and the lack of sufficient generating capacity, Ukrenergo is forced to apply emergency blackout schedules from 18:20 to 22:00 in six regions of Ukraine.
The head of Ukrenergo believes that the only way to protect Ukraine's energy system from Russian attacks is to decentralize generating capacity by building hundreds of small power plants instead of relying on a few large ones.
For the first time, the enemy attacked a solar power plant in Dnipropetrovs'k region and damaged a large energy facility in Kharkiv region, which led to power cuts in both regions.
Ukraine's electricity imports now far exceed exports, with exports almost zero due to the recent wave of massive attacks, while imports help balance the system by allowing limited exports only during certain hours when there is excess electricity.
The total debt between different participants in the electricity market has slightly decreased and amounts to about UAH 53 billion, while the debt in the balancing market reaches more than UAH 31 billion.
Power engineers are continuously working to restore energy facilities in all regions affected by the shelling and are already preparing for the next heating season with different scenarios.
Ukraine has managed to stabilize the situation with the energy infrastructure damaged by recent russian attacks, but high-voltage equipment, autotransformers, and repair equipment are needed to restore thermal and hydroelectric power facilities.
Due to the bad weather, 337 settlements in 7 regions of Ukraine are without electricity, no shortage is expected.
Russian shelling of Novoosynove village in Kharkiv region killed one civilian and wounded a child.

After the nighttime Russian shelling in Odesa region, power supply was restored, but due to the accident, two districts of Odesa and part of Odesa district remain without electricity, which engineers promise to restore within a few hours.
Russian occupants attacked high-voltage substations in southern Ukraine, leading to power outages in Odesa region and possible hourly blackouts in Kharkiv and Kryvyi Rih.
The power unit of Khmelnytska NPP was connected to the grid after repairs and is currently generating 300 MWh, and plans to increase electricity production after the restrictions are lifted.
In Dnipropetrovs'k and Kirovohrad regions, emergency power outages are introduced due to the effects of shelling, with scheduled outages affecting different areas.
Stabilization blackouts are introduced in Donetsk, Poltava, and Sumy regions of Ukraine due to a shortage of generating capacity and damage to the energy infrastructure caused by Russian military attacks.
An attack by an enemy drone at night disconnected equipment at one of the substations in Odesa Oblast, but all consumers were connected and there is no shortage of electricity in the grid.
Emergency blackout schedules will be applied in several regions of Ukraine, including Sumy, Poltava, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kirovohrad and Kharkiv, due to the lack of sufficient generating capacity caused by a massive Russian attack on Ukrainian power plants.
Several regions of Ukraine are experiencing emergency power outages due to a lack of generating capacity caused by Russia's massive attack on Ukrainian power plants at night.
