Emergency blackouts have begun in Ukraine. This was announced on October 8 by Ukrainian energy companies.

"According to the instructions of the national energy company Ukrenergo, emergency shutdown schedules were introduced in the Sumy region at 09:38," the Telegram channel of the Sumy regional administration says.

The reason for the power outages was damage to the facilities of the energy structure. According to the energy companies, the time for the resumption of electricity distribution is unknown.

On October 7, the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine announced that lights would be turned off on schedule in a number of regions of the country due to damage to energy infrastructure facilities. The ministry also added that some consumers remain without power supply in the Vinnytsia, Kharkiv, Kherson, Poltava and Chernihiv regions.

On September 26, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced that energy infrastructure facilities had been destroyed in the Poltava, Mykolaiv, and Vinnytsia regions.
