Ukraine Braces for Power Cuts Following Overnight Russian Assault

Ukrenergo, Ukraine’s grid operator, has warned that the recent Russian attacks on the country’s energy infrastructure have caused a shortage in the grid system, which could lead to power cuts for consumers throughout the nation in the evening. Hydropower and thermal power plants were specifically targeted in the assault, causing significant damage, according to a Telegram statement released by Ukrenergo.

As a consequence of the attack and ongoing hostilities, nine Ukrainian regions have already experienced power cuts on Wednesday morning.
