Ten regions without stable electricity
On November 9, Ukraine's Ministry of Energy reported that, due to damage to energy infrastructure, mass power outages continue across the country, with the most difficult situation remaining in Dnipropetrovsk and Kyiv regions. According to updated data from Ukrainian media citing the ministry, the outages affected residents of ten regions: Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Odesa, Poltava, Rivne, Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi and Chernihiv.
Schedules do not always work
In most regions, hourly outage schedules are in effect, and consumption restrictions have been introduced for industrial enterprises. However, in the hardest-hit areas, energy workers apply emergency shutdowns, which may not match the established schedule. Restoration work continues, but it is complicated by repeated strikes and air raid alerts; residents are advised to follow updates from local energy companies, as the situation may change during the day.
The scale of the problem in Dnipropetrovsk region
The scale of the problem in the hardest-hit region is illustrated by the figure from the previous day: on November 8, more than 600,000 subscribers in Dnipropetrovsk region were left without electricity, and restoring power supply required connecting consumers in stages. Life.ru also previously reported serious outages in Kryvyi Rih: in some districts of the city the power went out completely, while in others sharp voltage surges were recorded. Thus, the situation described by the Ministry of Energy as the most difficult is confirmed both by specific data on the number of disconnected subscribers and by the picture in individual cities of the region.
