“Why are there no schedules for Kyiv? Energy workers have repaired critical infrastructure, but the city’s energy system is still in deep emergency mode. There is not enough electricity for the schedules,” the message said.
As noted in the group, the light is turned on and off manually depending on the state of the system at that moment.
“So the outages are dragging on and are once again disappointing with their unevenness,” the message says. “This has never happened anywhere in the world. Zero days without destruction of the energy sector for a month in a row. Energy workers are busy with historic work to get us back on schedule.”
Earlier, on January 21, on Facebook, DTEK Kiev Electrical Power Supply reported that power engineers had resumed power supply to all critical infrastructure facilities in Kyiv after a missile and drone attack by the aggressor country of the Russian Federation on the night of January 20.
They noted that emergency power outages are in effect in the capital.
“Due to the enemy’s destruction of the capital’s generation facilities, the most difficult situation remains in the Dnieper and Desnyansky districts. About 44 thousand more houses remain without electricity. Repair work continues continuously in order to correct the damage caused by the enemy as quickly as possible,” the message said.
Those who have electricity are encouraged to use electrical appliances wisely.

Since the beginning of the heating season, the Russian Federation has attacked Ukraine’s energy sector 256 times, the SBU reported on January 15. In particular, since the beginning of October 2025, the occupiers have deliberately fired at 11 Ukrainian hydroelectric power plants and 45 largest thermal power plants. The Russians also carried out 49 targeted air strikes on thermal power plants and 151 on electrical substations in different regions of Ukraine.
On the night of January 20, the Russian Federation once again massively attacked Kyiv, as a result of which interruptions in electricity and water supply began on the left bank of the capital, more than 5 thousand houses were left without heat.
Due to the consequences of Russian shelling and winter cold, emergency power outages began to be used in Ukraine. A state of emergency has been introduced in the Ukrainian energy sector.
