As of October 21, 2026, out of 11 transformers supplying electricity to the city of Kyiv and other regions of Ukraine, only 4 are protected. This was reported by Member of Parliament Serhiy Nahornyak.
Situation with Transformers
According to Nahornyak, the issue extends beyond just the transformers, as current transformers and relay equipment remain unprotected. This poses a threat to the stability of electricity supply in the capital and surrounding areas.
Consequences for Kyiv
Nahornyak also noted that a recent attack on the Nivky substation led to emergency power outages on the right bank of Kyiv. This highlights the importance of protecting energy infrastructure, as any attacks can have serious repercussions for the residents of the capital.
Conclusions and Recommendations
Experts are calling for urgent action to ensure the protection of all transformers supplying the city. It is crucial not only to secure existing facilities but also to develop a strategy to prevent similar incidents in the future.
