Odessa may be without light for 2-3 months - city authorities

After the enemy attacked energy infrastructure facilities in Odessa Region on 10 December, Odessa and almost the entire region remain without electricity, according to DTEK Odessa Power Grid.

It is noted that 206 DTEK teams are working in the region around the clock to quickly eliminate accidents and return light to customers' homes as soon as possible.

According to preliminary forecasts, it will take much longer to restore power facilities in Odessa Region than in previous times after the hostile shelling. The Department of Life Support Systems and Energy Efficiency of Odessa Region said that consumers may not have light for two or three months.

It was also suggested there that you should leave the region if possible:

If you understand that it will be difficult for you to get by without electricity in the near future and you have the opportunity to temporarily leave the city of Odessa for Odessa Region or beyond, it is worth doing so

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed the critical situation in the Odessa region:

More than a million and a half people in the Odessa region are without light. Only critical infrastructure is connected - and as much as electricity can be supplied

He also noted that both emergency and stabilizing blackouts are continuing in different regions:

The power system is now, to put it mildly, very far from being normal: there remains a significant deficit in the system. That is why there are schedules of blackouts. The biggest are in Lviv, Vinnytsia, Kyiv, Ternopil, Sumy, Zakarpattia, Zhytomyr and Khmelnytsky regions and in Kyiv. We must understand that even if there are no massive rocket attacks, it does not mean there are no problems. Almost every day in different regions there is shelling, there are rocket attacks, drone attacks. Power facilities are hit almost every day. Due to the losses in the system we have to bring down
