Russia launched a massive airstrike on Ukrainian power facilities, leaving over a million people without power and causing at least five deaths. The attack, described by Kyiv as the largest on its energy infrastructure in two years of war, was portrayed by Moscow as retaliation for Ukrainian attacks during its presidential election. The strikes revived memories of previous attacks on Ukraine's power grid, prompting Kyiv to seek emergency electricity supplies from neighboring countries. The Kremlin's embrace of "war" rhetoric and the targeting of civilian infrastructure have escalated tensions, with the EU emphasizing the need to build its own defense industry in response to Russia's comments about war with Europe.
