At night, enemy drones attacked energy facilities in Dnipropetrovska oblast. No electricity shortages are expected as the power system is operating in a balanced mode.
In Kharkiv, power engineers have developed a two-stage plan to restore power supply, which first involves the priority disconnection of critical facilities and then restoration of the standard power supply scheme within a few days, with possible restrictions on weekends and beyond due to damage caused by an enemy attack on the energy facilities that supply the city.
President Zelenskyy held a meeting dedicated exclusively to resolving the energy crisis caused by Russia's attacks on Ukraine's energy system, making closed-door decisions to restore electricity, water, and heat supply, and prioritizing air defense systems from partners.
