Russian strikes leave 10 million Ukrainians without power as temperatures plummet | CNN

TL;DR

More than 10 million Ukrainians were without power after another wave of Russian strikes on critical infrastructure, as concerns over Ukraine’s power supply grew as winter began to set in across the country.Temperatures have plummeted in Ukraine this week, putting the country’s power grid under extra strain as engineers try to repair damage caused by fresh Russian missile strikes, according to state energy company Ukrenergo.“Due to a dramatic drop in temperature, electricity consumption is increasing daily in those regions of Ukraine where power supply has already been restored after massive missile strikes on November 15 on the energy infrastructure,” said Ukrenergo in a statement issued Friday.Zelensky said crews were doing everything to normalize supply but there were “emergency power cuts again in addition to the planned stabilization ones.”Yasno, a power supplier in Kyiv, said the city had experienced emergency blackouts all day Thursday, with the grid having less than half of its normal supply.Zelensky said that dozens of people were wounded as a result of a missile strike in Dnipro, while in Zaporizhzhia seven bodies were recovered from the debris of a residential building destroyed by Russian shelling."
