After Russia’s attack on Ukrainian energy facilities with missiles and drones, the capital and all regions are forced to resort to temporary blackouts.
Stabilizing blackouts in Ukraine due to Russia’s attack on the country’s energy infrastructure have affected nearly four million people. This was announced on Friday, October 28, by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.
“At the moment, stabilization closure schedules are applied in many cities and regions of our country – about 4 million Ukrainians have restrictions today,” he said.

At the same time, Zelensky assured that the authorities are doing everything so that the state has the opportunity to reduce such closures.
“We work with partners every day to strengthen our air defense and our other defense capabilities. Every day we strengthen the protection of our critical infrastructure, especially energy,” he stressed.
It was previously reported that from October 31 in all regions of Ukraine they plan to conduct planned blackouts instead of emergencies.
