9:17 am: Millions of homes without power

More than six million Ukrainian homes were affected by power cuts on Friday, two days after massive Russian strikes against the country, according to Volodymyr Zelensky.

"Tonight, cuts continue in most regions and in kyiv," added the head of state in his daily address.

On Friday evening, the electricity network had lost "30%" of its capacity, the operator Ukrenergo said on Telegram, while this lack was "15-20%" on Wednesday morning.

“We expect to go through the weekend with a deficit of around 25%.

This figure is already close to that before the last attack, but still a bit too high.

Therefore, the timetables for the restrictions will be maintained, ”clarified the operator.
