Russian military forces reportedly executed a massive attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, leading to significant power outages across the country, according to Ukraine's state grid operator, Ukrenergo. This assault comes amid ongoing talks, facilitated by the U.S., attempting to negotiate an end to the nearly four-year-long conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Ukrainian officials are framing these attacks as a deliberate strategy by Russia to target critical energy facilities, leaving many citizens in the freezing temperatures without essential services.
