The electricity supply situation in Ukraine remains complex, particularly in Kyiv, due to new strikes on energy infrastructure. Unfortunately, the consequences of previous attacks have not yet been fully resolved, and the energy system is once again facing new assaults.
Consequences of Attacks on Energy Infrastructure
Last night, Russian "Shahed" drones struck a thermal power plant in Kyiv. During the night of October 31, strikes were recorded on four electrical substations in the Dnipro region. Additionally, a Russian drone hit a thermal power plant in Shostka, while railway infrastructure in Dnipro and Kharkiv was also affected. Furthermore, a gas distribution facility in Dnipropetrovsk region was attacked.
- Approximately 200,000 families in Dnipro and the surrounding area are without electricity.
- More than 80,000 families in Kyiv region are also without power.
Status of the Energy System and Efforts of Energy Workers
Despite the challenging situation, energy workers are doing everything possible to ensure the stable operation of the energy system. Emergency recovery works are ongoing in all regions where the security situation allows. Energy specialists are constantly repairing damaged equipment, striving to restore electricity supply as quickly as possible.
International Reaction and Support for Ukraine
The global community is observing the escalation of the conflict, where Russia targets civilian infrastructure. It is crucial for international partners to support Ukraine, as strong steps towards peace are needed, including sanctions against the aggressor and new aid packages for Ukraine.
