Ukraine has reported a significant escalation in Russian attacks on its energy facilities, marking the eighth assault in three months. The latest overnight strikes targeted multiple regions, with Ukrainian air defence intercepting numerous missiles and drones. Damage includes injuries to energy workers, equipment destruction, and residential impacts in Ivano-Frankivsk. President Zelensky highlighted Russia's sustained efforts, severely impacting electricity generation. With ongoing reliance on EU energy imports amid shortages, Ukraine faces frequent blackouts to safeguard critical services. Calls intensify for enhanced air defence support from allies to protect against future assaults.
