Russia has carried out missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian power facilities, particularly in recent weeks.
The generators have enough fuel to maintain the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in south-east Ukraine for just 15 days, Energoatom said.
The president’s supporters gathered in the rain outside the Eastern Military Command in Rio de Janeiro.
Western nations have rejected the unsubstantiated claim out of hand, calling it ‘transparently false’.
The Ukrainian military said its forces have continued their counter-offensives in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.
Kherson has been in Russian hands since the early days of the invasion in February.
Russia has intensified its strikes on power stations, water supply systems and other key infrastructure across the country.
The move comes as winter begins to bite.
The blasts occurred inside and outside of the parcel reception office of the prison, according to reports.
Kyiv city mayor Vitaliy Klichko said the central Shevchenko district of the capital had been hit.
Attacks on Kyiv had become rare before the capital city was hit at least four times during Russian strikes on Monday.
It is the second time the Russian-controlled plant has lost power in the past five days.
The UN watchdog said the repeated loss of off-site power for the plant is a ‘deeply worrying development’.
Some analysts suggested Russian President Vladimir Putin is becoming a hostage of his own allies’ views on how the campaign in Ukraine should unfold.
