Russian Attacks Plunge Ukraine’s Capital Kyiv into Blackout

In the continued escalation of Russian attacks on Ukraine, the capital city Kyiv has faced widespread power outages. As a result of these assaults, electricity has been completely cut off in five districts of the city, forcing residents to use flashlights to light their homes.

Small businesses and shops are also heavily impacted by the blackout, struggling to carry out their daily activities. Ukraine’s Ministry of Energy has reported that a large-scale attack was carried out on the country’s energy infrastructure.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of intensifying attacks against the country’s vital infrastructure. Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry claims it targeted facilities related to military industries and transportation infrastructure in Kyiv.
