Russia unleashed 480 drones and 29 missiles across Ukraine early Saturday, targeting critical energy facilities and railway infrastructure in what President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called a "savage" assault. The attacks left thousands without heating in Kyiv and triggered emergency power cuts in seven regions.
Key Developments:
🔥 Kyiv Hit Hard: Three people were injured, and heating systems failed in 2,806 apartment buildings after strikes damaged an energy facility, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko confirmed.
💡 Nationwide Blackouts: Grid operator Ukrenergo imposed emergency power restrictions, warning of "critical infrastructure strain" as temperatures drop.
🌐 Global Response Urged: Zelenskyy demanded stronger international support on Telegram: "The world must answer these attacks on life itself."
The Russian Defense Ministry claimed the strikes targeted military factories and air bases, escalating tensions as the conflict enters its fifth year. Analysts warn the energy-focused strategy aims to cripple Ukraine’s wartime resilience. 🌍💥
