Russia has intensified widespread strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, forcing nuclear plants to reduce output and causing power outages for millions. This is a continuation of a pattern of winter-time attacks, with a Russian milblogger urging strikes on nuclear plants, signaling potential escalation. The extent of damage and duration of outages, including Kyiv's heating cut, remain unclear.
