Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal reported “a cascade shutdown” in Ukraine’s power grid in the morning on Jan. 31, following disruptions to transmission lines between Romania and Moldova, as well as between western and central Ukraine.
Shmyhal said that the nuclear power plants are operating at reduced capacity following the outage.
Ukraine’s state-owned grid operator, Ukrenergo, said at around 2 p.m. local time that emergency blackouts were in place in Kyiv and the surrounding region, as well as Cherkasy, Chernivtsi, Zhytomyr, and Kharkiv oblasts.
DTEK also reported emergency power cuts in southern Odesa Oblast and central-eastern Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
My heart goes out to the Ukrainians. Stay strong, brothers and sisters. <3
And the tankies in their .ml communities are cheering this violence against Ukrainians.
