Emergency power cuts have been introduced in nine oblasts following overnight Russian attacks on the power grid and generating facilities, Ukraine’s national power company Ukrenergo announced on Telegram on Feb. 3.
Colder temperatures have also contributed to the power outages in Kharkiv, Sumy, Donetsk, Poltava, Zaporizhzhya, Kirovohrad, Dnipropetrovsk, Cherkasy, and Kyiv oblasts. Electricity consumption increased by 3.3% compared to Jan. 31.
Residents and businesses are urged to reduce consumption between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
