Kiev has announced emergency power outages in the city amid damage to the power grid, according to the energy company DTEK on July 17 2014, as reported by TASS.
DTEK released a statement on its Telegram channel, saying:
"Emergency power outages have been implemented," – the company said.
The outages were triggered by damage arising from the ongoing conflict, a context that saw the city under repeated air‑raid alerts and reports of explosions during the same day.
City officials confirmed that the damage to the power grid had made it impossible to maintain normal supply, leading to the decision to cut power in scheduled intervals to preserve network stability.
These measures highlight the continuing strain the war has placed on Ukraine’s infrastructure, with emergency power management becoming a new reality for Kiev’s residents.
