Russia's Massive Air Strikes Devastate Ukraine's Power Grid

Russia launched a massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine, targeting power infrastructure and causing significant damage, particularly to thermal energy plants, resulting in emergency blackouts. The strikes, which hit Kyiv and several regions including Donetsk, Lviv, and Odesa, killed at least 10 people. This is the largest coordinated assault since September, with around 120 missiles and 90 drones launched. The attacks have raised concerns about a potential Russian strategy to deplete Ukraine's power grid as winter approaches. Neighboring countries like Poland and Hungary are on high alert, while Ukraine anticipates potential shifts in US policy under President-elect Donald Trump.
