Ukraine is grappling with a new wave of power cuts following the latest Russian attacks on its energy infrastructure. Officials have reported that the country faces long winter power outages if the damaged power plants are not restored. DTEK, a major energy company, stated that people may have only four hours of electricity per day in winter if repairs are not made. Since the war began, Russian missiles have targeted Ukraine's energy grid, specifically thermal power plants, hydroelectric power stations, and energy storage facilities. The latest assault marks the eighth massive aerial attack on Ukraine's energy plants in 2024, resulting in 50% of the country's energy capability being damaged or destroyed. Millions of Ukrainians are now living in the dark as a result of these attacks. CNN reported that the latest attack occurred last night.
