Briefly
According to DTEK (via UNN), power supply to all critical infrastructure facilities in Kyiv has been restored after the attack. At the same time, emergency outages continue in the city: about 44,000 households remain without electricity, and the planned power distribution schedules are currently not in effect.

Why part of the city is still without power
The company explains: due to damage to the capital's generation facilities the most difficult situation is in parts of the Dniprovskyi and Desnianskyi districts. The scale of the damage complicates restoration — repair crews are working around the clock, but the process requires time and components.
Authorities' position
"Up to 60% of Kyiv was without power; the situation is difficult in five other regions. The government will review the exemptions for energy workers."
— Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine
This is a test for the response system: priorities remain unchanged — hospitals, essential utilities, and administrative facilities. Authorities and energy companies are coordinating resources to accelerate restoration of supply to residential areas.
What this means for residents
Short-term consequences — interruptions in apartment power (especially in homes with electric heating), disruptions to services, possible delays in transport and utilities. Repair works continue; residents should follow city service notifications and exercise caution when using backup power sources.
Context and outlook
Restoring critical infrastructure is an important first step, but full stabilization of power supply in residential neighborhoods depends on the extent of the damage and the logistics of equipment deliveries. Energy sector representatives and analysts agree: the process will proceed gradually, with increasing coverage by repair crews.
Conclusion
Today it's not about emotion, but work: the team of energy workers and city services are working around the clock, and the capital continues to hold firm. The next key stage is restoring electricity to residential neighborhoods and a clear restoration schedule that will allow people to plan the coming days.
