About electricity in Ukraine
Ukraine uses 230V/50Hz with Type C and F (Schuko) sockets.

Ukraine has one of Europe’s largest nuclear fleets, traditionally providing over half of generation. Since 2022, sustained attacks on energy infrastructure have caused severe and ongoing disruptions to supply.
Availability
Highly variable. Major cities experience scheduled and unscheduled blackouts due to the ongoing war. Most accommodation has backup power.
Sockets & hotels
Type F (Schuko) is the modern standard. Soviet-era buildings may have ungrounded Type C.
Energy mix
Infrastructure damaged since 2022.
Practical tips
- A European C/F adapter is all you need.
