Russia continued its air campaign against Ukraine's energy infrastructure overnight, with damage reported in Kyiv and Odesa among other areas, according to Ukrainian officials, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited frontline positions.
The latest strikes form part of what has been described as one of the heaviest combined attacks on Ukrainian energy sites in months, targeting power facilities and related infrastructure in and around Kyiv and other regions.
A sustained campaign against the power grid
Russia has repeatedly targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure since the early stages of the full-scale invasion, with attacks intensifying during colder months in what Ukrainian officials have characterized as an effort to undermine civilian morale and daily life by disrupting heating and electricity supplies.
Ukrainian authorities have continued to call for enhanced air defense support from international partners to protect critical infrastructure from the recurring wave of missile and drone strikes.
Zelenskyy's visit to frontline positions comes as fighting and infrastructure attacks continue in parallel across multiple regions, underscoring the dual military and civilian dimensions of the ongoing conflict.
