Ukraine's energy system is stabilizing, and nuclear power plant units are reaching their nominal capacity, but the deficit persists due to frost and damage. Emergency restoration work is ongoing, and consumption restrictions have been introduced.
Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal announced that power supply has been restored to critical infrastructure in Kyiv, Kyiv, and Dnipropetrovsk regions. In Kharkiv, Zhytomyr, and Odesa regions, power is being returned to people.
In Ukraine, there was a serious cascading system failure, not a national blackout, said the former head of NEC "Ukrenergo". The incident could have been related to the disconnection of the 400 kV power line between Moldova and Romania.
Due to a systemic accident in Ukraine's energy infrastructure, the Chernihiv region is completely de-energized. The region is preparing for a complete transition to backup power if the situation does not stabilize.
A technological disruption with the disconnection of power transmission lines between Romania and Moldova and in Ukraine caused a cascading outage of the power system. Emergency shutdown schedules have been applied in Kyiv, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, and Kharkiv regions.
The Ministry of Energy announced emergency power outages in Kyiv, Zhytomyr, and Kharkiv regions. According to forecasts, electricity supply will be restored within the next 2-3 hours.
Emergency power outages occurred in Kyiv and a number of regions of Ukraine, the metro stopped, and water supply disruptions arose. The reason is damage to the energy system as a result of Russian attacks.

Former head of "Ukrenergo" Volodymyr Kudrytskyi stated that Kyiv's residential areas, particularly Troyeshchyna, are critically dependent on a limited number of large energy facilities. This increases their vulnerability during Russian attacks, as the lack of local sources leads to large-scale outages.

Former head of "Ukrenergo" Volodymyr Kudrytskyi stated that Russia knows the location of key objects of Ukraine's energy system due to its centralized model. Distributed generation from small power plants is much more difficult to detect and destroy.
Former head of "Ukrenergo" Volodymyr Kudrytskyi stated that generators from partners are a temporary solution. They support the operation of invincibility points, but do not solve the problem of electricity shortage.
Ukraine has strategically lost a significant part of its traditional electricity generation due to Russian strikes and equipment dismantling. Many power units have been destroyed or damaged, and some have been disassembled for spare parts.
Former head of Ukrenergo Volodymyr Kudrytskyi stated that systemic problems of Ukrainian energy cannot be solved at the end of winter. According to him, preparations for difficult winter periods should have started several years ago.
