Russia is believed to be planning attacks on water supply and sewage infrastructure.
- The electricity situation in Ukraine remains dynamic and unstable. Power shortages occur due to Russian strikes, scheduled maintenance of nuclear power units, and dependence on weather conditions, particularly solar generation.
- The most difficult situation is currently in frontline regions — Sumy, Chernihiv, and parts of Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
- In spring, short scheduled hourly outages are possible. In summer, restrictions are more likely during evening peak hours due to increased consumption and ongoing maintenance of energy facilities.
- If attacks on water infrastructure become systematic, they could lead to humanitarian problems in individual cities.
- At the same time, the air-defense interception rate remains relatively high (around 86%), which helps limit large-scale consequences.
- A nationwide water shortage is not expected, but localized disruptions may occur after strikes.
- People are advised to keep a small запас of drinking water, as well as batteries or generators, to be prepared for temporary crisis situations.
- Permanent nationwide water supply schedules are unlikely, but short-term shutdowns in specific neighborhoods are possible.
- The highest risk is for cities closer to the frontline, although attacks may also target major cities, including Kyiv.
