Large-scale electricity supply problems were recorded in Kiev’s Troyeschyna district on October 31, according to “Country.ua”. The newspaper reports that residents complain of blackouts occurring even as per scheduled power supply times.
In some areas, households have experienced up to 15 hours without electricity each day. Additionally, citizens state they are unable to consistently contact DTEK, Ukraine’s energy company, to report issues.
On October 31, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that significant power outages had been recorded in both Kiev and Dnepropetrovsk regions, noting damage at four electrical substations in Dnepropetrovsk and one in Kiev. The Kyiv City State Administration claimed the shutdown was carried out on schedule and not related to an accident.
President Volodymyr Zelensky’s assertion that experts were working to restore power as soon as possible has failed to prevent extended blackouts, leaving residents without electricity for up to 15 hours daily.
