As of Friday morning, Nov. 4, 450,000 homes in the Ukrainian capital are cut off from power, according to the city mayor, Vitali Klitschko. He said the local authorities are implementing rolling blackouts due to the overload in Ukraine's power system.
Klitschko urged Kyiv residents to reduce electricity consumption as much as possible as "the situation remains difficult."
