As a result of yet another large-scale strike by the Russian Federation on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, several regions have been significantly affected. Since the beginning of 2025, this marks the ninth massive attack on the country’s energy system, causing complete or partial power outages in many settlements.

Which Regions Were Most Affected
The most challenging situation has developed in the Rivne, Ternopil, and Khmelnytskyi regions. As of this morning, nearly all consumers in these areas have been left without electricity.
“As of this morning, consumers in the Rivne, Ternopil, and Khmelnytskyi regions are almost completely without power,” reported Acting Minister of Energy of Ukraine Artem Nekrasov at a briefing.
Additionally, residents of the Vinnytsia, Chernihiv, Zhytomyr, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kharkiv regions have also been partially left without electricity. Due to drone and missile strikes, the Russian army has inflicted significant damage on the energy infrastructure of these regions.
Restoration Work and the Situation in Odesa
As noted by Artem Nekrasov, emergency restoration work will begin immediately after the security situation improves. Energy workers are preparing to restore electricity to residents of the affected regions as quickly as possible.
Particular attention has been given to the Odesa region, where efforts are ongoing to eliminate the consequences of several massive strikes on the regional energy system. Due to these attacks, a significant portion of consumers in Odesa still remains without electricity. The restoration of power supply is complicated by the scale of the destruction and the threat of repeated shelling.
The situation regarding electricity supply remains tense, and energy workers are working to address the aftermath of the attacks and restore stable operation of the country’s energy system.
