Ukraine retaliates against Russian military targets amid widespread energy blackouts

Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure have caused severe power outages affecting more than 850,000 consumers in the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions. Energy operator DTEK and local authorities introduced emergency shutoffs and stabilization schedules to safeguard power networks as winter approaches.

In response, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported strikes on Russian military assets in occupied sections of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia, targeting ammunition depots, logistical hubs, and a specialized satellite communications jamming station.

Alongside the military actions, diplomatic activity remains focused on upcoming peace talks in Abu Dhabi regarding security guarantees. Meanwhile, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump remarked that "the war will end soon."
