In Kyiv, electricity supply is currently being rationed, with each part of the city having electricity only for a certain period of the day. Severe electricity shortages and blackouts have been reported in the city and region of Lviv, Odesa and elsewhere. Since October 2022, damage to critical infrastructure from repeated widespread missile strikes in Ukraine has resulted in severe water and electricity shortages across the country.
The capacity of the Department to provide consular assistance to citizens in Ukraine is extremely limited. Numerous civilian targets have been and continue to be hit by missile attacks, including schools, apartment blocks, and maternity hospitals. The situation remains extremely dangerous across all of Ukraine, including in Kyiv and western regions, with missile attacks continuing countrywide.
Bear in mind that communication lines (phone, internet) may be disrupted.įurther, the Department strongly advises against commissioning surrogacy arrangements in Ukraine. Keep your situation and departure plans under constant review and ensure your travel documents are up to date. If you believe you cannot leave safely, you should shelter in a secure place and monitor developments closely. Irish citizens in Ukraine should leave if safe to do so. The Department strongly advises against all travel to Ukraine, for any purpose. The Department of Foreign Affairs is closely monitoring the situation in Ukraine together with our EU and other international partners.
