## Summary

Russia has launched a major attack on Ukraine’s energy system, damaging facilities and prompting emergency power cuts in several regions, including Kyiv. The outages have disrupted public transport and temporarily halted the city’s water supply, while warming centres have opened in the hardest-hit districts.

Ukrenergo said Russian forces struck energy facilities more than 20 times in the previous 24 hours. Some customers may be without electricity for over 12 hours, but there is no precise estimate for how long the outages will last; Sumy and Poltava have introduced special emergency schedules.
