Ukraine said it’s imposing more rationing of electricity supplies in the aftermath of Russian strikes on the energy sector that also affected imports from the European Union.
Kremlin forces unleashed the largest missile and drone assault in more than three weeks against critical infrastructure on Saturday, targeting facilities across Ukraine. The attacks caused technical difficulties that limited the volumes of electricity that Ukraine can import from EU neighbors, national grid operator Ukrenergo said Tuesday.
