Power has been restored to over 800,000 residents in Kyiv, a day after Russia launched major attacks on Ukraine's power grid, causing widespread blackouts.
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), through the Energy Security Project, transferred 137 generators worth about UAH 40 mln to the Communal Utility Kyivteploenergo (CU KTE).
"Emergency repair work is ongoing, and most consumers had their power restored by Monday morning," it said. Mykola Kalashnyk, the governor of Kyiv region, said the attack had damaged the local gas grid and that over 8,000 properties in eight settlements would be disconnected from their gas supply over the next two days as repairs were carried out.

Those processes, earlier practiced during training sessions on generator usage, became a part of their routine work. “During emergency power outages, the generators enabled us to be ready for a blackout scenario.
