As the temperature drops below freezing in Ukraine, Russia has launched wave after wave of missile attacks on the country's energy infrastructure in a bid to destroy morale and force the Ukrainians to sue for peace. FRANCE 24 correspondents Robert Parsons, Pauline Godart and Raid Abu Zaideh report from the newly liberated parts of Mykolaiv and Kherson regions, where Ukrainian electricians are battling to restore power to homes.
Hundreds of kilometres of war-damaged electricity cables are in need of urgent repair. Since the liberation of the villages east of Mykolaiv in early November, Ukrainian electricians have been working non-stop. The land around them is mined – a parting gift from the Russians.
