Zelensky: Russian strikes on energy grid leave 600,000 without power, defying US
Published 2 d ago5 sourcesEvidence: Reported
Russian attacks on energy infrastructure in Kyiv and five other regions left over one million consumers without power, per Ukraine's Energy Ministry. This continues Moscow's pattern of targeting Ukraine's grid ahead of winter, with repairs ongoing where security permits. The scale of outages and timing suggest a deliberate effort to degrade civilian resilience.

Russia has initiated its winter air campaign targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure, resulting in widespread power outages, particularly in Kyiv. This campaign aligns with previous patterns of seasonal attacks, but the current intensity and reported new tactics suggest a deliberate effort to cripple Ukraine's energy grid and civilian resilience ahead of winter. The full extent of damage, effectiveness of Ukrainian defenses, and the adequacy of international aid remain key uncertainties.
