Russia pummelled power facilities across Ukraine in the latest big wave of attacks on Monday at a time of the year when energy consumption usually rises because winter is setting in.
“As of 11am on December 8, because of damage caused by missile strikes to power plants and the high-voltage network, the system has a significant shortage of electricity,” grid operator Ukrenergo said.
It said the weather complicated the situation, with western regions facing frost, rain, snow and strong winds that were causing wires to ice over, but that the most difficult situation was in eastern areas where fighting has been fiercest.
“In all regions, there is a lack of energy – up to a third of what is needed,” said Oleksandr Starukh, the UA "governor" of the Zaporizhia region in southeastern Ukraine.
