Power engineers begin reconnecting grid in Vyshhorod community
In the Vyshhorod community in the Kyiv region, a phased restoration of power supply is beginning after an enemy strike that left some residents without electricity for a fourth day.
Censor.NET reports that this was stated by Vyshhorod Mayor Oleksii Momot.
Power restoration
Residents are being asked to switch off all electrical appliances, especially power-hungry ones and turn them on gradually to avoid accidents as voltage is restored.
"If underground cables start failing, there may be no electricity until 2027. Let’s take this seriously," Momot stressed.
The start of restoration was initially planned for 4:00 pm, but it was moved to 7:00 p.m. The work is being carried out in stages, taking into account the technical condition of the networks.
