Ukraine works to restore power as Vladimir Putin meets Russian military officials

Kyiv decided to stop Metro services to provide shelter to people at the underground stations.

Ukraine has started work towards restoring electricity and water supplies to cities affected by Russian missile strikes in the ongoing conflict. The targeted attack on Ukrainian infrastructure has left around 10 million Ukrainians without any proper source of electricity and even the World Health Organisation said that the lack of power can result in the winter turning “deadly” for a lot of them.

The city of Kharkiv was one of the first ones to restore electricity in most parts as regional governor Oleg Sinegubov confirmed that the remaining infrastructure should get repaired next week. This was good news for Ukraine after the country decided to impose emergency blackouts to conserve power.

On the other hand, Kyiv decided to stop Metro services to provide shelter to people at the underground stations. Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said that services will resume shortly along with the water supply.

However, a third of Kyiv residents were still without power, Klitschko added.
