Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy grid on Christmas Day left millions without power, heating, and caused casualties.
Russian forces launched a series of missile and drone attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure on Christmas Day, leaving the country in widespread blackouts. The attack, described by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as "inhumane," resulted in power cuts across Ukraine, including in Kyiv, and left nearly half a million people in Kharkiv without heating. At least seven people were injured and one person was killed. This marks the 13th major assault on Ukraine's energy sector this year, as the country faces its third winter of conflict.
