parts of Kyiv. Energy authorities reported that emergency crews are working around the clock to restore electricity and heating, while temporary power restrictions have been introduced in some areas to stabilize the grid. The strikes have placed additional strain on an energy system already weakened by repeated attacks since the start of the war. The emergency status allows the government to fast-track technical, financial, and logistical measures, including increased electricity imports from neighboring European countries and simplified procedures for infrastructure repairs. Officials also warned that further disruptions remain possible if attacks continue. Ukraine’s leadership described the strikes as a deliberate attempt to undermine civilian life and morale, particularly during the winter months. Despite the damage, the government says it remains committed to maintaining essential services and protecting critical facilities. International partners have pledged continued support, including technical assistance and equipment aimed at strengthening Ukraine’s energy resilience. As the conflict persists, energy security remains one of the country’s most urgent challenges. Source: Reuters
