On the night of March 19, Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure left parts of Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Sumy regions without power. In Zaporizhzhia, a worker at “Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo” was injured and is currently receiving medical care.
Across all regions of Ukraine, from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., power outage schedules are in effect for households, along with load reduction schedules for businesses.
Late yesterday evening, kamikaze drones attacked critical infrastructure in Volyn region, leaving over 30,000 people without electricity.
Analysts warn that without systematic corrective measures, Ukraine risks remaining in a “vicious cycle” of blackouts, as noted by Maria Tsaturyan in her article “Blackouts Forever: Can Ukraine Overcome the Energy Crisis?”
