Thousands of families in Vyshhorod remain without electricity after Russian strikes PHOTO

Vyshhorod, a city near Kyiv, remains largely in the dark as approximately 9,000 families continue to experience power outages for the fourth consecutive day following a large-scale attack by Russian forces.

The State Emergency Service reports that “resilience centers” have been established throughout the city, offering residents assistance and temporary shelter. Meanwhile, energy workers are actively engaged in restoration efforts to restore electricity to homes across the affected areas.

Authorities emphasize the ongoing challenges posed by the strikes but reaffirm their commitment to quickly bringing essential services back online.

Emergency outages continue in Boryspil and Brovary districts of Kyiv region, while hourly schedules are in place in other districts.

"Vyshhorod is currently the most critical point where people are without electricity. In Boryspil and Brovary districts, consumers receive electricity, albeit periodically," said Danylo Patiuk, head of the dispatch department of DTEK Kyiv Regional Electric Grids, in an interview with the United Marathon.

Earlier in the day, Oleksiy Danchyn, the head of Vyshhorod District State Administration, reported that electricity supply in the city will likely be restored in the second half of December 30.

He said that separate teams of DTEK employees have been formed to work in different parts of the city and that the operation of the water utility, heating network, and central heating system are priorities.

Additionally, the capacity of generators for critical infrastructure facilities continues to increase.

Danchyn also reported that five fire invincibility points and four heating points are operating in the city and that powerful generators have been installed in the hospital and administrative building to charge equipment.
