Ukraine schedules power outages for November 9 after Russian strikes

Ukraine's energy operator Ukrenergo has announced scheduled power outages for Monday, November 9, affecting parts of the country. Restrictions will apply to all consumer categories from 00:00 to 23:59, with outages ranging from 1.5 to 4 queues. The outages are a consequence of massive Russian attacks on energy infrastructure, which have created a power deficit. Ukrenergo warns the situation may change and advises residents to monitor official regional distribution operator channels for updated schedules. Scheduled outages (GPV) are pre-planned to manage predictable shortages, while emergency outages (GAV) are implemented within 3-15 minutes after infrastructure damage. Authorities also recommend consumers adopt energy-saving habits and prepare emergency supplies for potential blackouts.
