Russian energy strikes cause blackout for 850,000 as Ukraine targets military assets

Russian targeted bombardments on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure have intensified power supply disruptions, leaving over 850,000 users without electricity across the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions. National energy operator DTEK and local authorities implemented emergency disconnections and stabilization schedules to maintain grid functionality amidst ongoing strikes.

In response, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine executed targeted strikes against Russian military installations in occupied sectors of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia. Ukrainian forces destroyed ammunition warehouses, logistics nodes, and an electronic warfare station designed to jam satellite communications.

Meanwhile, diplomatic attention centers on prospective peace talks in Abu Dhabi. Delegates intend to formulate preliminary framework conditions and long-term security guarantees for Ukraine following declarations from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump asserting that the conflict will conclude shortly.
