In Kyiv and Kirovohrad region, water supply is expected to be restored by the end of the day.

Critical infrastructure has already been reconnected in the capital, while work to restore electricity supply is ongoing. The Ministry of Energy shall provide updated information in a few hours.

Emergency and special outage schedules remain in effect in Kyiv, Poltava, Kharkiv, and Sumy regions - the announcements will be made by the Ministry of Energy and Ukrenergo.

Alternative energy sources have been provided for the duration of the work: generators, emergency shelters, and additional communications.
