Ukrenergo ordered emergency power shutdowns throughout Kyiv between 7:45 AM and 8:45 AM UTC on December 27, 2025, as announced by DTEK's official channel. Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported more than 2,600 residential buildings, 187 kindergartens, 138 schools, and 22 social institutions without centralized heat supply as of this morning. Energy and utility workers are working to restore energy and heat supply in the capital, according to Klitschko's statement. DTEK stated changes would be promptly informed via their Telegram channel. These outages follow Russian drone and missile strikes on Kyiv earlier this morning between 5:15 AM and 7:45 AM UTC, which injured eight people including a 16-year-old child across seven districts, as previously reported by Klitschko, Culture Minister Oleksandr Tkachenko, and Kyiv City Military Administration head Tymur Tkachenko.
