Kharkiv Regional Military Administration reported at approximately 11:00 AM UTC on February 3, 2026, that 60% of the Kharkiv region is without electricity due to emergency damage, affecting about 200,000 subscribers, with 4-5 rounds of scheduled outages in effect during the 59-minute reporting window from 10:15:36 AM to 11:15:26 AM UTC, as stated by Trukha⚡️Kharkiv | Новини. The announcement detailed ongoing power disruptions across the region, prompting the administration to inquire about local power situations from residents, according to the Trukha⚡️Kharkiv source posted within the current window. This follows earlier Russian strikes on energy infrastructure in Ukrainian cities including Kyiv and Dnipro reported in previous hours, per Archer83Able and K_Loukerenko on X. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that alliance member states, together with Ukraine, are developing new weapons and rapidly supplying them to Kyiv, adding that NATO will always stand by Ukraine's side and will not allow a 'Budapest Memorandum 2,' as cited by Trukha⚡️Kharkiv referencing a post from visionergeo on X during the window. These power outages in Kharkiv extend patterns of energy facility targeting seen earlier today, with previous reports confirming strikes on at least four major facilities including Trypillia TPP overnight, according to GloOouD and INSIDER UA.
