Officials stated that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 projectiles struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, labeling such attacks as "strategic and deliberate" and against "critical infrastructure" as temperatures become colder.
Government representatives said Moscow was "conducting extensive attacks" and maintenance teams were striving to restore power.
A wave of strikes hit energy infrastructure and residential structures in the capital.
