    Russia's Intensifying Attacks on Ukraine's Power Grid

    Russia has significantly escalated its attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, making the current electricity situation worse than last winter. DTEK, a major energy provider, reports that while they were prepared for attacks, Russia's changing tactics and increased intensity have led to a sharp rise in strikes. In just three days, there were 78 strikes, compared to 11 massive attacks in the whole of 2022.
