Last week, the sky over Kyiv and the regional centers of Ukraine was unusually quiet. According to CNN, there have been no major missile or drone strikes since November 23, when nearly 70 air-launched cruise missiles were fired at targets in Ukraine.

According to the spokesman of the Air Force of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat, one of the reasons could be that Russia ran out of Iranian-made Shahed attack drones.

“The ones they received have already been sold,” Ignat told Ukrainian television this week. “The concern now is the 1,700 or so they still ordered,” he said.

Despite the sharp reduction in attacks on the energy infrastructure of Ukraine, the state energy company “Ukrenergo” is trying to restore damaged facilities.

Oleksiy Kuleba, the head of the military administration in the Kyiv region, said on Friday that emergency power cuts continue in the Kyiv region.

“Overloading the power system leads to more emergency shutdowns,” he said.

Mayor of Kyiv Vitaliy Klitschko said that the city is preparing for new attacks and is taking emergency measures.

“In the event of further hostile attacks on critical infrastructure facilities of Ukraine and a complete blackout as a result, some chain stores, markets, shops and shopping centers will continue to operate in the capital,” he said on Friday.Telegram.

In connection with the suspension of tram traffic due to a power outage, Klitschko noted that “all bus fleets in the capital are refueled and have autonomous power sources.”

He said metro stations would once again be available as shelters and would provide internet connectivity, electricity, drinking water and sanitation.
