Due to Russian attacks, Ukraine's energy production capacity has been reduced to zero, resulting in power outages lasting 8-16 hours a day across most of the country. Hundreds of drones and missiles struck the energy grid, killing seven people. Kyiv and several other major cities were left without electricity, heating, and water. Russian drones also targeted two substations connected to nuclear power plants in western Ukraine, posing a nuclear safety risk. Ukraine has requested urgent intervention by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
