UKRAINE POWER CRISIS: Russian Strikes Leave 200,000 Without Electricity...

Russia has intensified strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, with widespread power outages affecting civilian populations across multiple regions. The Dnipropetrovsk region, located in central-eastern Ukraine, has been a frequent target of such attacks throughout the conflict. Power grid damage has become a recurring consequence of the war, affecting hospitals, heating systems, and basic services as winter conditions persist. Ukrainian authorities have worked to restore electricity following each wave of strikes, but the repeated targeting of energy facilities has strained repair efforts and left many communities vulnerable to extended outages. These attacks on civilian infrastructure have been a consistent feature of Russia's military strategy since the full-scale invasion began in 2022.
