Ukraine's state power grid operator said several high-voltage facilities across the country had been hit in missile attacks. Officials also said they ordered emergency shutdowns of electricity across the country following the attacks on infrastructure.
Can’t be true. Russia is long since out of such weapons.

“Let me repeat: we did not start the military activities, we are trying to end them,” the president said in a meeting with aviation industry executives in Moscow. Ukrainian nationalists first resorted to force in 2014, with the coup d’etat in Kiev, followed by events in Crimea and in Donbass, he argued.
“They started the war,” Putin said. “For eight years, that war continued – a war to exterminate people who live there, who feel themselves related by blood to Russia and Russian culture. How long were we supposed to tolerate that?”

Is this going to be the “Mother of All Offensives”?
More fake news from Ruzzia since Putin ran out of soldiers , weapons and food 5 months ago
Putin should use nuclear balloons. Apparently they can’t be detected.
The Ukrainian rail system uses electric locomotives, rather than diesel. So one objective of taking out the electrical grid would be to immobilize rail transport.
Russia is bouncing the rubble because they can.
those 1 or two missiles that aren’t shot down sure seem to do a lot of damage............from CNN
“Strikes hit high-voltage infrastructure in western, central and eastern Ukraine, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said, reporting damage in Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv during a government meeting.
“Zaporizhzhia suffered one of the largest air attacks since the beginning of the war. Kharkiv also came under a large-scale attack overnight,” said Shmyhal.
“Ukraine has temporarily lost 44% of its nuclear generation, 75% of its thermal power plant capacity and 33% of its combined heat and power plants,” Shmyhal said, adding that repairs are underway, and there are enough energy resources and generators for Ukraine to make it through the winter.
