Situation remains particularly difficult on Kyiv’s left bank
Power supply has been restored to all critical infrastructure facilities in Kyiv that were cut off after the attack, according to DTEK, the operator of the city’s power grids.
However, the company stressed that the overall electricity situation in the capital remains challenging. Emergency outages introduced last week are still in effect, and scheduled blackout timetables are not being applied. The most difficult situation is on the left bank of the city.
“Due to enemy damage to Kyiv’s generation facilities, the situation remains most severe in parts of the Dniprovskyi and Desnianskyi districts. Around 44,000 households are still without electricity. Repair work is continuing around the clock to eliminate the consequences of the shelling,” the company said.
Earlier on Tuesday morning, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that nearly 60% of Kyiv had been left without power and that about 4,000 buildings were without heating.
