Kyiv Restores Power to 748,000 Households After Massive Russian Strike

Emergency shutoffs persist on the city's left bank due to overloaded, damaged networks.

Overview

  • DTEK reports critical infrastructure and all residential buildings in the capital are back online following rapid repairs.
  • The city's left bank remains under emergency shutoffs due to overloaded, damaged distribution networks.
  • The right bank has moved to scheduled hourly outages as the grid is balanced.
  • In Kyiv Oblast, 347,000 customers regained supply, yet over 10,000 in Vyshhorod are still out, and Boryspil and Brovary are receiving power in three-hours-on, six-hours-off intervals.
  • Officials said the Dec. 26–27 strike used nearly 500 drones and about 40 missiles, including Kinzhal, briefly cutting electricity to almost 750,000 Kyiv households and disrupting heating and water as critical sites switched to backup power.
