Ukrenergo says restoration has started where safety conditions permit.
Separate hourly restrictions apply in some regions; consumer groups are not outage durations.
Where consumers are reported without power
The morning notice names Kyiv city and Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Khmelnytskyi and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. These are the areas in which Ukrenergo reports interrupted consumers. The notice does not establish that every household or connection in any of those regions has lost electricity, and it does not identify individual affected streets or addresses.
The reported interruptions are linked by the operator to night and morning attacks and damage to energy infrastructure on the preceding day. This account does not establish the precise moment that supply failed at each connection. No customer count is supplied, so the named areas cannot be converted into a total number of people affected.

Repairs and hourly restrictions describe different conditions
Ukrenergo says restoration has begun where the security situation allows. That describes work under safety constraints, rather than completed restoration. The bulletin supplies no final completion time or address-level confirmation of restored supply. It therefore remains uncertain when electricity will return to each interrupted connection.
A separate operator notice announced restrictions for parts of Ukraine from 06:00 to 23:59 on 14 October, with 0.5–2 consumer groups. The morning bulletin says restrictions remain in some regions. The group figures describe the announced restriction arrangement; they do not mean cuts lasting half an hour to two hours, and they are not an affected customer count. The overall schedule window does not establish a continuous outage at every address.
What households can plan for
The source gives a dated morning situation report, with the exact publication clocks unverified. Individual onset times, customer totals and recovery deadlines remain unknown. For essential-device preparation, the runtime calculator helps compare device demand with battery capacity. The internet backup planner supports planning for a router and modem. These tools provide household planning context while local supply and repair timing remain uncertain.
