On the morning of February 5, a Russian attack in Kharkiv damaged an energy infrastructure facility that provides electricity to the city. This caused power outages in some areas and temporarily halted public transport, including the metro and electric ground transport.
This was reported to journalists by the city mayor, Igor Terekhov.
According to him, the attack was carried out on an energy facility that supplies the city. As a result of the attack, serious damage was recorded to the energy infrastructure, which complicated the stable power supply. Emergency restoration work is currently underway in the city, in which energy services are involved.
The mayor noted that due to the scale of the destruction, it is currently impossible to name the exact number of subscribers who remain without electricity, as damage assessment and network restoration are ongoing.
He also clarified that houses that previously remained without heat and had priority electricity supply now do not have 24-hour light. In some cases, outages last for several hours. According to Terekhov, JSC "Kharkivoblenergo" is correcting the situation manually - responding to requests and trying to restore electricity supply as soon as possible.
The city mayor emphasized that after today's strike, problems in the power system have worsened.
"I am in touch with the management of Oblenergo in order to adjust these outages so that they are very, very small," the mayor said.
According to Terekhov, emergency power outages are in effect for consumers who were left without power after the attack. He added that this is not a complete power outage of individual areas, but a disruption of the city's overall energy balance, which energy workers are currently trying to stabilize.
We would like to remind you that on February 5, due to the unstable situation in the power system, train traffic on all lines of the Kharkiv Metro will be carried out according to a weekend schedule. The intervals between trains are about 20 minutes.
Verified Starlinks are working, Russian terminals are blocked — Fedorov
This positions was announced by the Minister of Defense Mikhail Fedorov.
According to him, a large-scale verification process for Starlink terminals is underway. The first batch of devices that have been included in the "white list" is already operational. The lists are updated once a day.
Fedorov noted that if the terminal has been submitted for registration, but it is not yet working, users should wait - the verification takes time.
"In parallel, we are already working to ensure that data is received for verification in real time," the message says.
For civilian users, the verification procedure takes place through the Administrative Service Centers. For legal entities, the corresponding service will later become available on the "Diya" portal. For military users, it is through the secure DELTA channel for the Defense Forces.
Fedorov also emphasized that the team, together with partners, promptly processes all requests, and continuous and stable communication is critically important for the front.
Sergey Beskrestnov, Advisor to the Head of the Ministry of Defense for Technological Areas of Defense, reported that blocking unauthorized terminals has significantly affected the capabilities of the Russian army at the front.
According to him, the Russian troops have a serious management crisis: assault operations have been halted in many areas of the front due to loss of communication. At the same time, the Ukrainian Defense Forces have had problems only with those units that submitted data on private Starlink terminals late. The process of processing them is currently ongoing.
Recall that Ukraine introduced a "white list" of verified and registered Starlink satellite communication terminals the day before. Unregistered devices will be disconnected.
This solution should prevent the Russians from using Starlink on drones, which are difficult to shoot down due to their low flight altitude, resistance to electronic warfare, and real-time control over long distances.
