Blackouts occurred in the oblasts of Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Sumy, Kharkiv and Kherson. The operator has asked to limit the use of energy-consuming devices from 7pm to 9pm, to reduce the load on the network a little.
The governor of K Herson Roman Mrochko has reported that the entire part of the oblast not occupied by the Russians is without electricity. There are also problems with water supply in the area, according to UNIAN. The blackouts were announced by the state company Ukrenergo, explaining that they were caused by the latest series of Russian raids in the country. The blackout was caused by a series of raids by the Russian army in the east of Ukraine. The raids were carried out in the early hours of the morning on Monday. The Russian army is believed to have taken control of several settlements in the region, including the city of Donetsk and the town of Lugansk.
