As of February 25, power outages have been reported across four Ukrainian oblasts—Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Kharkiv—due to sustained Russian attacks targeting energy infrastructure. The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine indicated that these outages are part of a broader strategy by Russia, which has launched significant missile and drone strikes against Ukrainian energy facilities since the beginning of the year, with over 300 missiles and more than 7,000 drones used in past attacks.

In response to the escalating crisis, energy experts are working diligently in areas where the security situation permits to mitigate the damage caused by these attacks. Continuous efforts are being made round the clock to restore power and bring energy equipment back online as soon as possible. The current situation has necessitated rolling power outages across most regions, forcing businesses to adjust their operations according to restricted power supply schedules.

This ongoing conflict highlights the vulnerability of Ukraine's energy infrastructure under the pressure of military aggression from Russia. It not only significantly inconveniences consumers in the affected oblasts but also amplifies the challenges faced by businesses, as they navigate limited operational capabilities due to the power restrictions. The situation remains critical as the Ministry of Energy continues to explore solutions to restore stability to the electricity supply amidst the ongoing threats of attack.
