Power will be cut for between eight and 16 hours across most regions of Ukraine on Sunday, state transmission system operator Ukrenergo has said, after Russian attacks targeting energy infrastructure reduced the country’s generating capacity to “zero”.
Moscow, which has escalated attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure in recent months, launched hundreds of drones at energy facilities across the country from Friday into Saturday, which killed at least seven people, according to Ukrainian officials.
The Russian attacks have disrupted electricity, heat and water supplies in several Ukrainian cities, with state power firm Centerenergo warning generating capacity “is down to zero”.
While the situation had somewhat stabilised, regions including Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Poltava, Chernihiv and Sumy could continue to experience regular power cuts, Ukraine’s energy minister said on Saturday night.
“The enemy inflicted a massive strike with ballistic missiles, which are extremely difficult to shoot down. It is hard to recall such a number of direct strikes on energy facilities since the beginning of the invasion,” Svitlana Grynchuk told local broadcaster United News.

Western media has been slow to report this development, and western leaders are silent.

Or they downplay it and also report the Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy infrastructure which are much smaller in scale
It’s very odd
Unlike last winters, Russia this time seeks to be trying to Destroy the entire energy grid including instead of temporary damaging it including the critical large substations untouched before
So Ukraine's generating capacity now matches Ukraine's Morality.
Seems about right.
Putin really stepped in it this time!
It’s all over for him now! 🤡
I asked this question earlier today and I’ll ask it again.
Why did the Ukie authorities, last year report that all energy facilities had received protective covers, claiming to have spent billions in Western aid for this purpose???
This year, it turns out the lying bastards promise was once again fiction.
The energy production and transmission facilities remain unprotected. This Zelinsky lie has left facilities exposed during crucial periods, particularly NOW as winter approaches.
This was just another grift by Zelensky and his neo-Nazi regime to feast on a few more $$$$ billions of other countries taxpayers money.
None of the shelter structures to protect a total of 21 energy infrastructure facilities that were talked up by Kiev have been completed with protective covers.
What’s up with that? Where did the money go?
I’m sure zeepers can spin and explain this away with the usual propaganda.
Where I am is below freezing. It’s colder than the “weather” app says. This might mean something in the Ukraine.
“What’s up with that? Where did the money go?”
Kursk.
Massive Drone Attack Plunges Moscow Region Into Darkness
A record-breaking swarm of Ukrainian drones targets Russian energy facilities, causing widespread blackouts and exposing vulnerabilities across multiple regions.
Where’s mucousmaximus? Did he commit suicide?
Some live cam, as published by a Polish YouTube source.
Ukraine live cam from Kyiv, Odessa, Kharkiv, Kramatorsk, Sloviansk, Donetsk, Dnipro... TVL Trzcianka [ Poland ]Not freezing yet in Kyiv. About 48 F and rain. Winter approaches.
Yeah, we all heard already a neighborhood of Moscow was without power for a few hours.
Most significant is the silence in western capitals after two days.
It’s deafening.
I look forward to this tit-for-tat to keep happening, across each country.
I understand Ukraine just conscripted Angelina Jolie’s guide, on her visit to Ukraine, so there’s at least one man to add to the sausage grinder.
Maybe she can get into one of her secret agent roles and take out key installations in Russia.
