As a result of an accident in the energy networks in Ukraine, there was a complete shutdown of water supply in the capital, Kyiv. This was reported by the publication "Strana.ua".
According to Energy Minister Denis Shmyhal, a technological malfunction occurred in the morning: at the same time, the 400 kV line connecting the energy systems of Romania and Moldova and the 750 kV line linking the western and central regions of Ukraine were disconnected.
This disruption caused a cascading power outage and triggered automatic protection at substations. As a result, blocks of nuclear power plants were also unloaded.
The company "Kyivvodokanal" confirmed that "due to the accident in the energy system, water supply is completely absent in all areas of the capital."
In addition, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that due to the power outage, traffic in the Kyiv metro was halted.
