Russian energy strikes cause widespread blackouts as Ukraine hits military targets
Russian strikes cut power to over 850,000 users in Ukraine as Kiev targets Russian military infrastructure ahead of diplomatic talks in Abu Dhabi.
Russian targeted bombardments on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure have intensified power supply disruptions across multiple provinces, disconnecting over 850,000 users in the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv sectors. Grid operators implemented emergency disconnections alongside stabilization schedules to preserve systemic functionality.
In response, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine executed precision strikes against Russian military installations within occupied Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia. Ukrainian military assets destroyed ammunition warehouses, logistics nodes, and a satellite jamming station configured to intercept orbital communications.
Simultaneously, international diplomatic initiatives focus on planned negotiations in Abu Dhabi, where delegations intend to outline future security arrangements following claims by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump regarding an impending cessation of hostilities.
