Ukraine’s critical energy infrastructure was extensively damaged again on Saturday as Russian troops delivered another large-scale wave of missile strikes, leaving 1.5 million or more people without power.
Some parts of Ukraine are reducing their electricity use by up to 20%, the national energy operator Ukrenergo said on Saturday. While these were “significant volumes”, they were not enough for regions where the infrastructure suffered the most damage and Ukrenergo would have to resort to “forced restrictions”, chief executive Volodymyr Kudrytskyi said.
