Ukraine’s Energy Under Siege | Roanoke News

from Roanoke News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Ukraine’s energy lifeline is under relentless assault as Naftogaz suffers nearly 300 attacks this year, including 13 in one week — all part of Russia’s “weaponizing winter” strategy to cripple infrastructure and demoralize civilians. While no workers have been hurt, the damage to power grids and production is mounting. Meanwhile, Ukraine fights back with over 800 drones launched at Russian targets, including western depots, and is advancing its own ballistic missiles and air defense tech — even as it grapples with shortages of critical systems like Patriots. The war has turned into a high-stakes aerial chess match, with both sides escalating strikes on civilian areas and military assets alike.
