According to him, since yesterday, the operator of the distribution system in Kyiv applies temporary schedules in accordance with the available amount of available capacity, hourly outage schedules and capacity limitation schedules for businesses are in effect throughout the country.
In some regions, due to the difficult situation in the power system, emergency power outages are forced to be used.
Due to bad weather, more than 270 settlements in Odesa, Vinnytsia, Kyiv, Chernihiv and Sumy regions remain without electricity, the Ministry of Energy adds.
After the last massive attacks by the Russian Federation, the energy system of Ukraine is under a state of emergency, the most difficult situation is in Kyiv and the Kyiv region. The mayor of the city, Vitaliy Klitschko, reported that as of January 30, 378 high-rise buildings were still without heat – out of almost six thousand, in which heating disappeared as a result of the Russian attack on the capital’s critical infrastructure on January 24.
According to the city authorities, most of these houses were twice restored or tried to restore heating after the previous mass shelling on January 9 and 20.
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, Russia has been striking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Since the beginning of the fall of 2025, Russian forces have intensified their attacks on the Ukrainian energy sector.
The Security Service of Ukraine qualifies Russia’s strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure as crimes against humanity. The SBU previously noted that since the beginning of this year’s heating season, it has documented at least 256 air attacks by the Russian Federation on energy facilities and heat supply systems of Ukraine.
