Emergency power cuts were imposed across much of Ukraine on Saturday after Russian drone and missile attacks on major energy facilities, especially in the nation’s west, grid operator Ukrenergo said in a post on Telegram.
With temperatures across Ukraine remaining well below freezing, Russia is taking advantage of the harsh conditions to further strain the country’s war-damaged energy system, as its invasion nears the four-year mark that will be reached on Feb. 24.
