More than 50,000 residents of Odesa region have been without electricity for over three days.
The critical situation in the region, caused by massive enemy attacks on energy infrastructure, has been classified as a state-level emergency. This was reported on Telegram by the head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration, Oleh Kiper.
“An emergency situation that arose as a result of a massive enemy attack on the energy infrastructure of Odesa region has been granted the status of a state-level emergency,” he wrote.
According to Kiper, the decision was made during a meeting of the commission on technogenic and environmental safety and emergency situations at the Odesa Regional Military Administration. The key reason was the prolonged disruption — lasting more than three days — of normal living conditions for over 50,000 residents due to the lack of electricity.
In addition, the commission approved the allocation of additional funds from the reserve budget to local communities to replenish fuel supplies. These resources are needed to ensure the uninterrupted operation of generators powering critical infrastructure facilities, including hospitals, educational institutions, resilience centers, and other essential services.
Authorities also plan to hold consultations with businesses to reduce electricity consumption in the region.
