Russian strikes hit Ukrainian power grid as Kyiv targets enemy military assets

Russian attacks leave over 850,000 without power in Ukraine, while Ukrainian forces strike Russian military targets and diplomatic efforts loom.
Russian bombardments targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure have caused widespread blackouts, affecting over 850,000 consumers across the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions. Grid operators introduced emergency shutoffs and stabilization schedules to protect power networks ahead of winter, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy highlighted the increasing scale of recent attacks.
In response, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported strikes against Russian military targets, including a satellite communications jamming system, ammunition depots, and logistical facilities in occupied areas of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia.
Meanwhile, diplomatic attention remains focused on prospective peace talks in Abu Dhabi regarding security guarantees, alongside statements from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump suggesting the war will soon end.
