Kyiv restores power to 100,000 families after Russian attack

Kyiv has restored electricity to 100,000 families following a recent large-scale Russian attack that left many without power.

In the aftermath of a significant Russian attack on February 11-12, power engineers in Kyiv have successfully restored electricity to 100,000 families. This restoration follows extensive efforts by DTEK, Ukraine's largest private energy supplier, to address the damage caused by the strike. Initially, around 107,000 households were left without power, highlighting the severity of the incident and its impact on the city's infrastructure.

Additionally, the attack not only affected the electricity supply but also left nearly 2,600 apartment blocks in Kyiv without heating, further complicating the situation for residents during a time when adequate heating is crucial. As the city begins to return to a state of normalcy, scheduled power outages are being reintroduced in the Desnianskyi district, indicating a measured approach to managing energy resources following the damage.

This incident underscores the broader challenges Ukraine faces due to ongoing hostilities and the continued impact on essential services. The resilience of the energy infrastructure in Kyiv is being tested as the country works to recover and stabilize its services amidst ongoing conflict.
