“In Kyiv, by decision of Ukrenergo, emergency shutdowns are introduced.

Hourly outage schedules will not work until the situation stabilizes," TASS quoted the press service as saying.

On November 23, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the deployment of more than 4,000 "points of invincibility" in the country in case of a blackout.

Earlier, the head of the Ukrainian energy company DTEK, Dmitry Sakharuk, noted that electricity would be turned on in Kyiv for two to three hours.
