A renewed Russian air assault on Ukraine has severely damaged critical energy infrastructure, cutting electricity to more than one million people across several regions. Ukrainian authorities said the strikes targeted power generation and transmission facilities, worsening the humanitarian situation as winter conditions persist.
The s caused widespread blackouts in major cities and surrounding areas, disrupting heating, water supply and essential services. Emergency crews were deployed to assess the damage and carry out urgent repairs, but officials warned that restoration efforts could take days due to the scale of destruction.

International partners have pledged additional support, including generators and technical assistance, to help Ukraine cope with the mounting energy crisis.
