Metro trains halt due to low voltage during a blackout in Kyiv
Train carriages glow at Demiivska metro station that plunges into darkness due to a large-scale voltage drop in the power grid in Kyiv, Ukraine, on January 31, 2026. Metro trains and escalators in the capital are temporarily halted, with passengers using stations as shelters. The voltage drop also leaves all districts of Kyiv without water supply, triggers emergency power outages in the city and region, and affects Moldova, where several settlements lose electricity.
