Vitali Klitschko says strikes have severely disrupted Kyiv’s power supply

Situation Overview

On 3 November, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the city’s electricity supply situation is “extremely difficult” due to ongoing strikes, which he said aim to destroy Ukraine’s single power system. He reported damage to electricity generation and transmission across Ukraine and damage to facilities of the Kyiv regional power utility. Klitschko said the emergency situation has led to disruptions in water supply in the capital and in the operation of public electric transport. He also said deployment work is underway in Kyiv districts facing the most acute electricity shortages, without providing further operational details. No market or economic figures were reported in the cluster.
