"Power specialists are working in order to reach scheduled power cuts and restore the supply to Brovary and Boryspil by midnight. The situation in Bila Tserkva is more difficult, but we have a clear restoration plan. I am asking for patience and understanding of the circumstances," he posted. 

The head of the Kyiv Oblast Military Administration has added that the entire critical infrastructure sector in the oblast is functioning.
