Overview

• Kyiv authorities reported power cuts in three central districts, temporary reliance on reserve power for the metro, and reduced water pressure in parts of the capital.
• Emergency crews restored electricity to affected Kyiv areas, with officials saying water pressure would return to normal within two to three hours, though some outages persisted.
• Ukrenergo said lingering damage from Russian strikes triggered outages across northern, central, and southeastern regions.
• Earlier on October 14, the grid operator noted nationwide electricity use remained high as cloudy weather cut residential solar output and colder temperatures increased heater use.
• The Chernihiv region continued operating under a three-stage schedule of hourly outages due to earlier attacks, even as other regions had no daytime restrictions before the evening disruptions.
