Where the versions diverge

The sources agree on the state of the power system; Ukrainian media additionally cover the conflict between Zelensky and the Kyiv authorities, which Russian and independent materials in the sample do not mention.

What Russia reports

automatic summary RIA Novosti quotes Ukrainian Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal: transmitting electricity between regions is significantly hampered, so Ukrenergo is applying schedules and emergency restrictions.

“Передача электроэнергии между регионами Украины значительно затруднена, заявил министр энергетики страны Денис Шмыгаль.”

What Ukraine reports

automatic summary Ukrenergo introduced emergency cuts in several regions, and DTEK emergency cuts on Kyiv's right bank and in Bucha and Vyshhorod districts. After a meeting with officials Zelensky accused the capital's authorities of stalling resilience plans; the city administration set up "invincibility points" in Obolonskyi, Podilskyi and Sviatoshynskyi districts. Ukrenergo attributed the cuts to a new Russian tactic of continuous strikes on substations and lines near big cities rather than to a capacity shortage.
