KYIV, Sept 19 – According to experts interviewed by the United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU), power outages will last from 4 to 18 hours daily in winter, the monitors' report says.

"This winter will be bad enough with people likely having to cope with scheduled blackouts across the country. Any additional attacks leading to prolonged electricity blackouts could have catastrophic consequences," said HRMMU Head Danielle Bell.
