Russia’s major attack on Ukraine’s power grid.
Kiev: Russia on Sunday carried out its biggest air attack on Ukraine in the last three months. The Russian military fired 120 missiles and 90 drones, killing at least seven people and causing “severe damage” to power systems. Ukrainians also fear serious damage from a Russian attack on their other energy plants. Because it will cause prolonged blackouts in Ukraine as soon as winter begins. Russia launched its first attack on Ukraine in February 2022. Now at the critical moment of the war, such attacks by Russia will increase psychological pressure on Ukraine.
These attacks caused emergency power outages in many areas of Ukraine. Russia’s attack comes as Donald Trump has raised the possibility of an end to the war after his historic victory in this month’s US presidential election. “This is one of Russia’s largest ever air strikes,” Foreign Minister Andrey Sibiha wrote on Twitter. Drones and missiles rained down overnight against peaceful cities, sleeping civilians, and critical infrastructure.

This attack by Russia has caused major damage to Ukraine’s power grid. Ukrainian security forces could be heard engaging drones in airstrikes over the capital Kiev throughout the night.

These attacks once again highlight Ukraine’s need for additional air defense systems from our allies.” (Reuters)
