About 43,000 residents of Kuban were left without power due to snowfall.

Emergency outages also affected several railway stations in the Krasnodar Territory, delaying approximately 50 trains.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," eight settlements in the Tuapse District have been without power since December 31, 2025, due to snowfall: the villages of Shaumyan, Goytkh, Sadovoye, 1st and 4th Gunayki, the farmstead of Terziyan, the village of Oktyabrsky, and the village of Bolshoe Pseushkh. The main problem was the heavy snowfall, which prevented power workers from reaching the downed lines.

About 43,000 people remain without power in the Krasnodar Territory, while specialists are working to address the aftermath of the storm. "The most critical situation last night developed in certain settlements in the Belorechensky, Apsheronsky, Kurganinsky, Labinsky, and Ust-Labinsky districts, Armavir, and Sochi. Specialists worked throughout New Year's Eve and continue to address the aftermath—over 120 emergency crews are currently working on this," Krasnodar Krai Governor Veniamin Kondratyev reported on his Telegram channel.

Furthermore, several stations and railway sections in the Krasnodar Krai are without power. About 50 trains traveling through the region are delayed for up to 27 hours.

"Due to bad weather, snow accumulation, and icy wires and trees, several stations and sections of the railway in the Krasnodar Territory were without power on December 31. Trains are delayed from 47 minutes to more than 27 hours. They are being rerouted through the damaged sections, including with the help of diesel locomotives. About 50 trains are delayed. Work to restore damaged sections of the overhead contact network continues," the regional task force reported.

About 2,800 meals—water, instant food, cookies, sandwiches, and tea—were delivered to passengers on the delayed trains, authorities reported.
