Retail chains in Kyiv operating as usual despite power restrictions

13 January , 2026  

The ATB, Novus, and Aurora retail chains in Kyiv are continuing to operate despite restrictions on heat and electricity, but there may be changes to their schedules and temporary closures, retailers told the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.

“Aurora stores are operating as usual. Information circulating on social media about the mass closure of Aurora stores is not true,” the chain’s press service said.

However, individual outlets may be temporarily closed in the event of generator and other power source failures, the retailer added.

According to the press service of the Novus chain, information about the mass closure of supermarkets is not true.

“The chain continues to operate, but due to power outages, some stores may temporarily operate with restrictions or change their schedule. We ask customers to check the current status of a particular store in advance at: https://novus.ua/robotamagazyniv/ or call the hotline at 0 800 601 729,” Novus explained.

In addition, all ATB stores in Kyiv and the surrounding region are operating as usual, according to a statement posted on Facebook by the company’s press service.

“In rare cases of technical or logistical difficulties, the company responds promptly and takes the necessary measures to resolve them,” the statement said.
