Details: The most difficult situation with electricity supplies remains in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa oblasts.

Emergency power cuts have been introduced in Kharkiv Oblast due to damaged equipment and a drop in voltage in the high-voltage grid.

The situation also remains difficult in frontline regions due to ongoing hostilities and constant attacks. Russia systematically targets energy infrastructure in these areas on a daily basis.

Meanwhile, engineers are working around the clock to repair damaged equipment as quickly as possible. However, these efforts are being hampered by prolonged air-raid warnings and the threat of further attacks.

Background: On Wednesday 11 November, scheduled power cuts were introduced in some regions of Ukraine. This means households could be without electricity for more than 12 hours.
