Ukraine is suffering from energy blackouts all over the country in the wake of Russia's retaliatory offensive launched in early October.

Emergency blackouts are taking place in Odessa, Kiev, and Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine, major Ukrainian energy corporation, DTEK, said on Saturday in the wake of a major Russian offensive.

"Due to the risk of a missile attack in the Odesa region, emergency electricity outages are being introduced," the company's arm in Odessa said on social media.

Additionally, emergency power outages also took place in Kiev and Dnipropetrovsk, with DTEK announcing that the schedules for "stabilization power cuts" not functioning properly.

Ukraine's electricity transmission system operator Ukrenergo said earlier in the day that emergency blackouts had taken place in 11 Ukrainian regions since they had exceeded the energy consumption limits that had been mandated.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said back in November that some 50% of Ukraine's energy infrastructure was damaged due to the retaliatory precision strikes that Russia has been carrying out since October 10 against Ukrainian infrastructure as a result of Ukraine's terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge.

Ukrenergo said in later November that there was a 20% power generation deficit in the country.

Weeks later, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said it was impossible for Kiev to completely restore the Ukrainian power grid.

Meanwhile, Sky News came out in late December and released mages from NASA's Suomi and NOAA-20 satellites of blackouts in Ukraine that the news outlet described as a "pulse". 

"Their powerful cameras, each the size of a grand piano, capture the pulse of the country - the twinkle of street lights, shop signs, and kitchen windows," the report added.

The relevance of the pictures taken is owed to their comparison in the energy supply situation between January and December, which showed how weak the pulse has become over time.

Exclusive new satellite imagery shows the impact of Russia’s war on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

Yet British embassy officials have told Sky News that Ukraine has “more than enough” generating capacity.

The images show that by the end of November, Ukraine's energy system has become almost completely defective.
