Ukraine said Russia launched “massive” missile and drone attacks Friday, a day after President Volodymyr Zelensky lobbied for long-range weapons before EU leaders.
KYIV, Ukraine –
For several months, Russia has been systematically targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, leading to power shortages that left millions in the cold and dark in the middle of winter.Ukraine’s energy operator Ukrenergo, said “several high voltage facilities” were affected in the east, west and south of Ukraine, leading to power outages in some areas.
Kurtev said 17 strikes were recorded over the course of an hour, “the largest number” since the invasion. But some EU leaders were warier, fearing it could drag the West closer to direct conflict with Russia. Polish Premier Mateusz Morawiecki said his country “will not be the first to hand over fighters” but would welcome others leading the way, while Britain said it would consider it as a “long-term solution”.
