In Vyshhorod, Kyiv region, about 9,000 families have been without electricity for four days following a massive Russian attack on 27 December.
This was reported by DTEK, the Kyiv RMA, and the SES, according to Censor.NET.
On the night of 27 December, Russian troops carried out a massive attack on Kyiv and the Kyiv region, damaging the region's energy infrastructure. The most difficult situation with electricity remains in the Vyshhorod, Boryspil and Brovary districts.
According to DTEK, more than 9,000 consumers in Vyshhorod are without electricity. The company notes that there is currently no technical possibility to connect using backup schemes. Restoration work is ongoing, but requires additional time.
