Russian grid strikes leave over 850,000 without power in Ukraine as counter-strikes continue

Russian bombardments targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure have cut power to over 850,000 consumers across the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions, energy operator DTEK reported. Operators implemented emergency blackouts and scheduled stabilization cuts to preserve grid integrity ahead of winter.

Simultaneously, Ukraine's General Staff announced strikes on a Russian electronic warfare facility used for satellite jamming, as well as ammunition depots and military logistics hubs in occupied areas of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia.

Diplomatic focus shifted toward proposed peace discussions in Abu Dhabi regarding Ukrainian security guarantees, following comments by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump stating "the war will end soon."
