“The reason for the introduction of restrictions is the consequences of massive Russian missile and drone attacks on energy facilities. The time and scope of restrictions will be as follows: hourly shutdown schedules – from 08:00 to 22:00 – from 0.5 to 2 shifts; capacity limitation schedules – from 08:00 to 22:00 – for industrial consumers,” the message reads.
The energy system operator warns that the time and scope of restrictions may change.
In recent weeks, the Russian military has intensified its shelling of the Ukrainian energy and gas infrastructure, which supplies people with gas during the heating season.
On October 30, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine stated that due to Russian attacks there is a serious risk of dangerous consequences for civilians this winter, including long interruptions in heating, electricity and water supply. According to the UN, such interruptions will have a particularly painful effect on vulnerable groups of the population, such as the elderly, persons with disabilities and families with small children.
In August, the Ministry of Energy reported that since March 2025, Russian forces have carried out more than 2,900 attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
