Kyiv restores power to critical infrastructure after the attack — over 44,000 households still without electricity

Briefly

According to DTEK (via UNN), power supply to all critical infrastructure facilities in Kyiv has been restored after the attack. At the same time, emergency outages continue in the city: about 44,000 households remain without electricity, and the planned power distribution schedules are currently not in effect.

Why part of the city is still without power

The company explains: due to damage to the capital's generation facilities the most difficult situation is in parts of the Dniprovskyi and Desnianskyi districts. The scale of the damage complicates restoration — repair crews are working around the clock, but the process requires time and components.

Authorities' position

"Up to 60% of Kyiv was without power; the situation is difficult in five other regions. The government will review the exemptions for energy workers."

— Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine

This is a test for the response system: priorities remain unchanged — hospitals, essential utilities, and administrative facilities. Authorities and energy companies are coordinating resources to accelerate restoration of supply to residential areas.

What this means for residents

Short-term consequences — interruptions in apartment power (especially in homes with electric heating), disruptions to services, possible delays in transport and utilities. Repair works continue; residents should follow city service notifications and exercise caution when using backup power sources.

Context and outlook

Restoring critical infrastructure is an important first step, but full stabilization of power supply in residential neighborhoods depends on the extent of the damage and the logistics of equipment deliveries. Energy sector representatives and analysts agree: the process will proceed gradually, with increasing coverage by repair crews.

Conclusion

Today it's not about emotion, but work: the team of energy workers and city services are working around the clock, and the capital continues to hold firm. The next key stage is restoring electricity to residential neighborhoods and a clear restoration schedule that will allow people to plan the coming days.

EU Against Google: Why the Latest Fine Could Change More Than Previous Ones

# European Regulators Target Google Again — This Time Over Digital Markets Act Violations. What's Behind the Accusations and Why It Matters Beyond the Corporation European regulators have renewed their scrutiny of Google, this time focusing on alleged violations of the Digital Markets Act. The charges underscore Brussels' increasingly aggressive stance on big tech monopolies and what officials say are anticompetitive practices. The accusations center on how Google leverages its dominance across multiple digital services — from search to advertising to mobile platforms — to disadvantage competitors. Regulators claim the company is using its market power in ways that stifle innovation and limit consumer choice. The case carries significance far beyond Google itself. It signals how the EU is attempting to enforce its landmark Digital Markets Act, legislation designed to curb the gatekeeping power of tech giants. A potential penalty could set precedent for how other large technology companies face similar scrutiny. For consumers and smaller tech firms, the outcome could reshape the digital landscape by creating more room for competition. For Google, fines and operational restrictions could fundamentally alter its business model in Europe, the world's most stringent regulatory market. The case also reflects a broader geopolitical divide, with the EU pursuing a regulatory approach that contrasts sharply with the lighter-touch oversight favored in the United States.
