Russia has launched a huge attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, which authorities said was the 12th large-scale attack on energy facilities this year.<\/p>\n

Ninety-three missiles and more than 200 drones were used – but 81 of the missiles were shot down, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.<\/p>\n

The strikes targeted sites in western Ukraine, damaging energy facilities in several regions, some seriously. Authorities in Ivano-Frankivsk said it was the worst attack on the region so far. <\/p>\n

Moscow said the attack was in response to a Ukrainian strike on a military airbase in south-west Russia using US-made missiles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In an interview with Time magazine on Thursday,<\/a> to mark being named Person of the Year, US President-elect Donald Trump said he disagreed “very vehemently” with American-made missiles targeting sites in Russia and branded it “crazy”. <\/p>\n

“We’re just escalating this war and making it worse,” he said. <\/p>\n

On Friday, the Kremlin said that Trump’s comments were “fully aligned” with Moscow’s position. <\/p>\n

“That impresses us,” spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. “It is obvious that Trump understands exactly what is escalating the situation.”<\/p>\n

Trump also told Time he wanted to reach an agreement to end the war, and the only way to do that was “not to abandon”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Russia’s attacks came on the coldest day of the Ukrainian winter so far, with temperatures around -6C. <\/p>\n

Along with the damage caused in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, energy and infrastructure facilities were damaged in the Lviv and Ternopil regions. <\/p>\n

No critical or residential infrastructure was hit in the Kyiv region, according to Ruslan Kravchenko, the area’s governor.<\/p>\n

Five out of the country’s nine operating nuclear reactor units have been operating with reduced power. <\/p>\n

As a result of the attack, the Ukrenergo National Power Company had to increase power supply restrictions on Friday, with rolling blackouts being introduced in all regions. <\/p>\n

Ukrenergo added that during the day on Friday, electricity would be imported from Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary and Moldova.<\/p>\n

Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. <\/p>\n

In total, Russia has captured and retaken about 2,350 sq km of territory (907 sq miles) in eastern Ukraine and in Russia’s western Kursk region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
