Russia attacked Kyiv's energy sector: over 500 thousand consumers without electricity

According to Главком: The situation with electricity in Kyiv and the region is extremely complicated due to the terrorist strike by the Russian army, resulting in over 500 thousand consumers being left without power. Stabilizing the situation will require at least two to three days.

On December 27, 2025, the Russian army attacked substations and stations in the Kyiv region. The attack led to a significant number of consumers being left without electricity, severely complicating the energy situation in the region. According to representatives of energy companies, stabilizing the situation in the Kyiv agglomeration will require at least 2-3 days.

The situation is challenging; stabilizing it in the Kyiv agglomeration will require at least a few days.

Among the important facilities affected by the attack are:

• Kyiv HPP
• TPP-5
• TPP-6
• Darnytsia TPP
• Trypillia TPP

These stations play a key role in providing electricity not only to Kyiv but also to adjacent areas.

In light of the difficult situation, energy companies are working to restore electricity supply, but the timing for stabilization remains uncertain.

This attack on Kyiv's energy infrastructure reflects the ongoing threat from Russia, which seeks to destabilize Ukraine through strikes on critical facilities. Restoring electricity supply requires significant efforts from energy companies as well as support from government structures. Given that the blackout affected a large number of consumers, the situation may have serious consequences for the daily lives of Kyiv residents and the region's economy.
