The strikes damaged critical energy facilities across Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions, with Ukrainian authorities reporting hundreds of thousands of outages and widespread disruption. The attacks underscore Russia’s continuing focus on Ukraine’s power infrastructure as diplomatic efforts gather pace. France says European representatives will join upcoming talks in Abu Dhabi, but the scale of the damage and continuing violence threaten to complicate negotiations.
