The majority of kyiv residents have regained access to electricity and other basic services, the Ukrainian capital’s military administration said on Sunday.
“In the capital, electricity, water, heating and communications have been almost completely restored,” the institution reported through its account on the Telegram social network.
“Everything works normally. There are only a few emergency situations, which are located,” reported the military administration, referring to the fact that the network repair work is in its “final phase.”
The news comes on a day when snow is expected in kyiv and temperatures are expected to drop to minus two degrees Celsius during the day and minus five degrees Celsius at night.
On the 23rd of this month, the wave of Russian attacks on Ukraine’s electrical infrastructure led to widespread blackouts across the country, as the power grid was severely damaged and most power plants had to be shut down.
Power has gradually been restored in recent days, but Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky reiterated his call for citizens to save energy on Saturday night.
Restrictions still exist in 14 regions of the country, affecting at least 100,000 consumers in each of them, Zelensky added.
The electricity supply was also restored in the city of Kherson, in the south of the country, which was left without basic services after the Russian withdrawal on November 9.
The head of the regional military administration, Yaroslav Yanushevich, announced on Saturday that the main sewage treatment plant and other facilities now have electricity.
“Next, the supply of electrical energy will gradually proceed to the residential areas of the city. This will happen in the next few days, ”he assured.
