Ukraine, Kyiv: Consumers in Donetsk, Lviv, Sumy, Kharkiv and Chernihiv oblasts were cut off from the power grid on 20 October because of Russian attacks and combat actions, as reported by the press service for the Ministry of Energy. Some equipment was damaged in an attack on a substation in Sumy Oblast, resulting in a fire which led to a power outage at the substation and a loss of power to overhead lines and consumers in two oblasts. The fire was extinguished, and power was partially restored.
A UAV attack damaged an overhead line and cut off power to household consumers in Lviv Oblast. An attack on an overhead line cut off power to household consumers in Chernihiv Oblast as well. A total of 459 consumers were left without power.

As of the morning of 21 October, 585 settlements in Ukraine were partially or completely without power due to combat actions and technical failures.
