Dnipro Without Electricity and Transport: City Authorities Restored Water Supply on the Left Bank

According to Главком: Denial of electricity continues in Dnipro due to the Russian attacks, but the city authorities have restored the water supply on the left bank of the Dnipro River. Electricity disconnections in the city have been ongoing since the evening of January 7, leading to the suspension of electric transport operations. Additionally, disruptions to mobile communication and internet services are being recorded.

Difficult Situation in the City

The situation in the city remains complex, as the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions have also been affected. The mayor of Dnipro, Borys Filatov, expressed concerns about the current situation, stating:

“A million-strong city cannot sit on generators around the clock.” - Borys Filatov

He emphasized that the availability of electricity is crucial for providing water supply: 'The availability of electricity equals the ability to supply water to homes.'

Filatov also noted that the situation is one of the most challenging and compared it to a national emergency. He stressed the importance of careful electricity usage, saying:

“When the light has returned to your homes, it is not an excuse to plug in everything you have.” - Borys Filatov

At this time, the Ministry of Energy announced the start of inspections of the energy infrastructure damages after improvements in the security situation, and emergency measures continue in Dnipro to restore normal city operations.

The situation in Dnipro highlights the serious challenges the region faces regarding energy security and infrastructural issues caused by military actions. The restoration of the water supply on the left bank is an important step, but the complete functioning of the city remains threatened due to the lack of electricity and transport disruptions. Local authorities urge residents to conserve electricity, trying to save resources in the face of emergency circumstances.
