Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal reported “a cascade shutdown” in Ukraine’s power grid in the morning on Jan. 31, following disruptions to transmission lines between Romania and Moldova, as well as between western and central Ukraine.

Shmyhal said that the nuclear power plants are operating at reduced capacity following the outage.

Ukraine’s state-owned grid operator, Ukrenergo, said at around 2 p.m. local time that emergency blackouts were in place in Kyiv and the surrounding region, as well as Cherkasy, Chernivtsi, Zhytomyr, and Kharkiv oblasts.

DTEK also reported emergency power cuts in southern Odesa Oblast and central-eastern Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

I re-post my deleted comment again with a source link as it was not ‘bad faith.’

Tankies are literally celebrating Russia’s violence against Ukrainians, as one study says:

… The presence of left-wing extremism on the Lemmygrad. ml instance of the decentralized social media platform Lemmy … reveal a substantial increase in user activity and toxicity levels following the migration of these subreddits to Lemmygrad. ml. …

[Users] frequently share posts that support authoritarian regimes, as seen in their support for China, North Korea, and Russia. Moreover, their support can extend beyond backing these authoritarian regimes, even cheering on their violent actions, as evidenced by their posts on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Everyone is free to go to the instances and read their posts and comments. They are celebrating violent actions.
