Ukraine faces emergency power outages due to Russian air strikes on energy infrastructure, marking the fourth consecutive winter of blackouts since the invasion began in February 2022. Most regions are affected, with only Donetsk exempt. Ukraine has intensified drone attacks on Russian oil facilities, aiming to disrupt fuel supplies and pressure Russia into negotiations. President Zelensky accuses Moscow of creating chaos through these strikes. The US and allies are considering increased military support for Ukraine, while military aid has declined significantly.
