Southeast Ukraine in Darkness: Millions Without Power and Heat After Russian Strikes Last night’s strikes by Russian forces on energy facilities left Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions without electricity. According to Minister Kuleba, over a million people are without heat and water. Critical infrastructure was hit, and communications and transport are operating in emergency mode. “Full recovery, according to energy experts, could take up to a year and a half,” the official said. In Zaporizhzhia, power has been partially restored at boiler stations, and the railway has switched to diesel locomotives. Residents are buying up bottled water, while mobile operators are urging people to use phones only for emergencies. School holidays have been extended until January 11. #Ukraine #blackout The main news of Russia and the world is here.
