Power cuts have been introduced in Kyiv city and region in order to avoid accidents, the press service of DTEK Kyiv Regional Grids has reported.
“NPC Ukrenergo introduced blackouts in Kyiv region in order to avoid accidents from 23.34 on October 19,” the company said.
The blackouts will reportedly last no more than 4 hours per customer.
“However, it can be repeated within a day after 4 hours if Ukrenergo does not cancel the use of stabilization blackouts. For example, if your house was disconnected from 10:00 to 14:00 in the morning, if the stabilization blackouts continue throughout the day, the second blackout will be from 18.00 to 22.00 and from 02.00 to 06.00,” DTEK said.
The list of settlements, which may be affected, is posted on the DTEK website.
“To support the power system, we urge all residents of the region to consume electricity moderately – turn on energy-intensive appliances one by one, reduce electricity consumption as much as possible in the evening from 17.00 to 23.00. We ask business clients to limit the use of outdoor lighting on the facades of offices, restaurants, shopping centers,” the company again said, noting that it will help reduce the need for blackouts or the number of homes that are disconnected.
Florian Bollen, the new manager of the Tarantino Family restaurant chain, announced his intention to invest in the reconstruction of the Zhytniy Rynok (Zhytniy Market).
A new tenant is working on a reconstruction project in cooperation with Kyiv City State Administration and Zhytniy Rynok municipal enterprise, he said in an interview with Focus.
“The general idea is to make a comfortable public space with a place for Ukrainian producers and farmers, with platforms for public and social initiatives, with quality food at the food court, with comfortable places for trade. A craft brewery will be a highlight. Also in the plans are a cheese factory, a bakery, a children’s zone,” Bollen said.
According to him, reconstruction work can begin next year. At the same time, the businessman did not name the amount of planned investments.
“It is difficult to predict the final estimate amid war. The exchange rate is unstable, the logistics of construction materials is complicated. But I would like to start construction work next year. German Kraft Beer has a good reputation in the financial environment, we have the opportunity to receive affordable loans from European banks,” he emphasized.
Bollen explained that the building is on a long-term lease based on the results of tenders held by Kyiv City State Administration through the ProZorro e-procurement system.
As reported, the Tarantino Family restaurant chain in October 2022 came under the control of Florian Bollen, a German businessman and co-owner of German Kraft Beer craft breweries.

“We expect the start of the IMF mission as early as next week. We hope to reach agreements on macroeconomic indicators, parameters of the state budget for 2023 and sources of covering its deficit, which will be the beginning of work on a new program with the Fund,” the press service of the National Bank quoted him as saying. .
Pyshny also thanked the IMF for providing $1.3 billion in additional emergency financing under the RFI instrument, which arrived in Ukraine on Thursday.
As reported, on the eve of the IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said that the Fund’s team, together with the Ukrainian team, immediately after the annual meeting of the IMF and the World Bank (WB) this week, will determine Ukraine’s macroeconomic framework and budget.

Expert opinions
We asked developers how the demand in cottage towns has changed since the outbreak of hostilities and how prices have reacted to the war.
Vladimir, project manager of Sosnovy Bor duplexes, commented on the situation on the market of cottage townships in Kyiv:
“Compared to pre-war, the demand for duplexes in our project has fallen by 100%.
Buyers are waiting for the market to crash and prices to fall in order to invest profitably.
There is a lot of pent-up demand. People call and look at real estate. Until the end of the war, they postponed the purchase, but plan to return to this issue later. People are afraid to invest in houses during the war.
Since the beginning of hostilities, building materials have risen in price, and some of them, like glass, aerated concrete, metal of some brands, are in short supply.
Builders are also in short supply. Many went to the front.
In many projects, there will be a delay in the commissioning date of 3-5 months because of this.
The cost of construction in hryvnia increased, while in dollars it remained at the same level.
The cost we have before the war and is now declared in dollars at the exchange rate. The cost in dollars decreased by 10-15%.
The representative of the developer in the Happiness CG, Timofey, said: “in our project, demand fell by 90%. There’s just a lot of pent-up demand. The prices were denominated in dollars. Prices have decreased by 5-10%, but in each case, individual conditions are discussed.”
Sales manager of Montreux Townhouses Alexander reported that “demand in the project fell by 90%. Prices have dropped by 15%.
Andrey, a representative of the builder in OldStories townhouses, said: “In our project, demand fell by 60%. The prices were denominated in dollars. Prices have not changed.
Conclusions:
Demand in cottage townships in Kyiv, according to experts, has decreased by 60-100% since the beginning of the war, but it is gradually resuming.
It was military operations in Kyiv and its environs, “arrivals” that influenced and are still affecting the drop in demand for townhouses and cottages in Kyiv.
Growth or fall in demand depends on the distance from the center, readiness, type of real estate.
