Ukraine is approaching the winter months with blackouts spreading across the country, as Russia’s missile campaign pummels power stations, grid networks and other civilian facilities.
More than 10 million Ukrainians — about a quarter of the pre-war population — are without electricity, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his overnight address Thursday, as the first snow fell in the capital Kyiv.
“We’re doing everything to stabilize supply,” the Ukrainian leader said. The majority of the outages are affecting the region around Kyiv in central Ukraine, the western region of Vinnytsia, the area around the Black Sea port of Odesa in the south and the Sumy region in the north, he said.
