Details: In the regions where emergency outages have been applied, previously published power outage schedules are temporarily not in force.

Power engineers are working to restore the power supply. Emergency outages will be cancelled once the situation stabilises.

Consumers have been urged to use electricity sparingly and to monitor updates from their regional power distribution companies.

Background:

• Valery Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces and First Deputy Minister of Defence, has announced that Russian forces have begun massive strikes on Ukraine's energy facilities.
• Ukrenergo said its forecasts for winter have been worsened by recent Russian strikes on thermal power plants (TPPs) that were supposed to be operating in winter, but the company does not assess the situation as critical.
