Energy workers from Odesa have successfully restored electrical equipment in Kherson following the spring attacks. Thanks to their efforts, power has been returned to about 2,000 residents.

This was reported through the official DTEK Odesa electric networks account.

It is noted that 26 specialists worked on restoring the energy infrastructure damaged by shelling. The teams arrived in Kherson in mid-March.

“The frontline was only 3 to 10 kilometers away from where we were working. Energy workers had to operate in bulletproof vests and helmets due to the extreme danger posed by continuous enemy shelling,” the report states.

The specialists managed to connect three high-voltage lines and a substation to provide power primarily to water supply facilities, DTEK informs.

On April 4, 2025, Russian forces struck the Kherson thermal power plant using an FPV drone.

On the morning of April 1, 2025, an energy facility in the city was again damaged, leaving 45,000 subscribers without electricity.

On March 27, Russian troops struck energy infrastructure in Kherson and Poltava, violating ceasefire agreements. The Kremlin had earlier agreed to halt attacks on energy facilities, but these strikes indicate a breakdown of those agreements.

President Zelensky stated that Ukraine will respond to such violations and urged the international community to take action against Russia.
