“Vyshhorod is now fully restored: everyone has electricity after almost 100 hours of darkness,” he said.
The energy company DTEK later confirmed that power had been restored to approximately 9,000 customers in the city. Emergency crews worked around the clock for four consecutive days to repair a local substation that was severely damaged by the Russian air assault.
Overall, energy workers have restored electricity to 356,500 households in 46 settlements across Kyiv Oblast over the past week, following repeated Russian strikes on power infrastructure.
Emergency power outages remain in effect on the left bank of the oblast, where the damage was most severe and restoration work is ongoing.
Kalashnyk also reported that heat supply has been restored to communities in the Obukhiv district.
