Electricity has been restored in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson after it was liberated from Russian occupation earlier this month, a senior presidential adviser said on Saturday, according to Reuters.

“First, we provide electricity to the critical infrastructure of the city, and then immediately to household consumers,” Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine Kyrylo Tymoshenko wrote on his Telegram channel.

On November 11, Ukrainian troops again captured the city, which was left without electricity, central heating and water supply.

Russian forces captured Kherson shortly after invading Moscow on February 24, and it was the only regional capital they managed to capture.

Their withdrawal was a major setback for Moscow, but Ukrainian officials say Russian forces continue to shell the city across the Dnipro River.

The head of the local administration reported on Friday that 15 people have died and 35 have been injured in the past six days.

Kyiv still has problems with electricity

Some 130,000 people in Kyiv, a metropolis of three million residents, were still without electricity on Saturday, according to local authorities, as cited by DPA, Agerpres reported.

Repair works to restore the entire network will be completed within 24 hours, the Kyiv Military Administration reported, by which time all heating networks should be operational.
