Over a million Ukrainians are facing power cuts after Russia launched a major missile and drone attack on the country’s energy infrastructure. The strikes, including 88 missiles and 63 drones, caused blackouts and damaged key facilities, leading to casualties and major disruptions. The Kremlin escalated its language, declaring a “state of war” in Ukraine and seeking revenge for alleged Ukrainian attacks on its border areas. The assault targeted crucial energy installations, with concerns over potential widespread failures. The Ukrainian President criticized delays in Western support, amid reports of US concerns over drone strikes affecting global oil prices. The situation reflects an intensifying conflict with implications for both Ukraine and global politics.
