Presidential Office discussed total blackout scenario: Kyiv, Kharkiv and Dnipro could be left without power for several days

A closed meeting on the state of critical infrastructure was held at the Presidential Office, where a scenario of a total blackout of Ukraine was discussed.

The assessments presented there turned out to be significantly worse than public forecasts.

The main threat, as follows from the discussion, is no longer only a shortage of generation, but the gradual loss of stability of the unified power system.

According to the negative scenario discussed, by the end of the year Kyiv, Kharkiv and Dnipro could face power outages for several days in a row.

The most dangerous forecast concerns February 2027, when Ukraine risks being split into separate energy islands.

The meeting noted: if the intensity of strikes continues, Ukraine could face a situation where restoring one region will no longer make it possible to stabilize the power supply of neighboring ones.
