KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia seriously damaged one of Ukraine’s thermal power plants in an overnight attack, authorities said Wednesday, as Moscow pursued its campaign to deny Ukrainians heat, light and running water as winter approaches.
Every fall since the war started in 2022, Russia has targeted electricity and heating infrastructure in an effort to weaken Ukrainians’ will to continue fighting.
The energy sector has been a key battleground since Russia launched its all-out invasion more than three years ago.
Ukraine's foreign minister accused Russia on Sunday of deliberately severing the external power line to the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station in order to link the plant to Moscow's power grid.
