The publication Strana.ua reports that most of Kyiv has lost electricity supply.
According to the publication, Irpin and Gostomel are "practically in a full blackout."
The media have no official information on why the outage occurred.
This autumn Kyiv has regularly faced prolonged power disruptions. The metro and surface electric transport stop in the city, and water and sewerage networks operate with interruptions. A similar situation is developing in Odesa, Vinnytsia, Volyn, Kharkiv and other regions.
In early September, Verkhovna Rada deputy Solomiya Bobrovska called on Ukrainians to prepare for a difficult winter, leave the capital and buy firewood. Defense Ministry adviser Serhiy Beskrestnov, in turn, advised buying generators and batteries and stockpiling gasoline.
Russian troops regularly strike enemy infrastructure. The Defense Ministry has emphasized that this is done to reduce its military-economic potential. At the same time, fighters use strike UAVs and long-range precision weapons capable of destroying any target throughout Ukrainian territory.
