Impact of Bad Weather and the Situation in Other Regions
In addition to the strikes from the Russian Federation, over 100 settlements in Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Donetsk, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Poltava, Sumy, Cherkasy, Chernihiv, and Kyiv regions have also been left without electricity due to adverse weather conditions. Repair work is ongoing in these regions to restore power supply.
According to the Ministry of Energy, as of April 24, there are no forecasts for the introduction of restrictions on electricity supply for consumers. This information was confirmed in an official statement from the ministry.
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia has systematically attacked Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. These attacks have become particularly intense since the fall of 2025, leading to prolonged power outages in many regions and the introduction of blackout schedules. With the arrival of spring and the increase in generation from solar power plants, restrictions have gradually eased.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated in March that Russia continues to attempt to destroy the Ukrainian energy system. The Security Service of Ukraine classifies Russia’s strikes on energy facilities as crimes against humanity.
In February 2026, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed that Russia allegedly did not carry out attacks on civilian facilities, and that Ukraine, according to him, was the first to strike Russian energy facilities.
