Ukraine to impose power cuts on October 17 after Russian attacks

Ukraine will impose electricity consumption restrictions on October 17 due to the aftermath of massive Russian attacks on energy infrastructure, with measures lasting most of the day but not applied in all regions. Power limits for industry and businesses will be in effect from 00:00 to 23:59 across all regions, while hourly outage schedules for all consumer categories will apply from 06:00 to 23:59 in some areas, according to Ukrenergo. Residents are advised to check official regional energy operator channels for updates, as schedules may change rapidly. Russia reportedly plans to disconnect three Ukrainian nuclear plants and cut electricity supply to major cities by up to 90%.
