Kyiv blackout attack costs Russia about $131 million, Ukraine says
Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) says Russia spent over 10.2 billion rubles (~$131 million) on the Jan. 20 mass attack that knocked out Kyiv’s electricity and heating grids, part of a strike that included 33 missiles and 339 drones and hit energy infrastructure across Ukraine. Ukrenergo warns outages persist as power stations are repaired, with widespread reconnection efforts ongoing and authorities urging residents to use electricity sparingly.
