Throw out schedules: Emergency blackouts hit Kyiv

Original version ·

Power banks are officially back as essential home decor as DTEK pulls the plug on predictable timetables.

Russian strikes on energy infrastructure did their thing, forcing utility crews to drop the planned outage charts and switch straight to emergency mode. Electricity now flows based on repairs and sirens rather than a neat timetable.

Crews are out there patching up damaged high-voltage equipment, but they can only touch the metal when air raid sirens actually pause.

The ultimate citywide sport is once again seeing whether an electric kettle can finish boiling before the switch flips.
