Power was restored to over 800,000 residents in Kyiv on Saturday, a day after Russia launched major attacks on the Ukrainian power grid that caused blackouts across much of the country, and European leaders agreed to proceed toward using hundreds of billions of frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine’s war effort.

Ukraine’s largest private energy company, DTEK, said “the main work to restore the power supply” had been completed, but that some localized outages were still affecting the Ukrainian capital following Friday’s “massive” Russian attacks.

Russian drone and missile strikes wounded at least 20 people in Kyiv, damaged residential buildings and triggered blackouts across swaths of Ukraine early Friday.

Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko described the attack as “one of the largest concentrated strikes” against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

Look at Trump's face as German Chancellor Merz corrects him on Ukraine and Russia

They have deliberately been targeting civilians and kidnapping @ least 25,000 Ukrainian children.

5. Well, since Merz stated that, Ukraine HAS been targeting Russian energy infrastructure

And a very good job they've been doing of it too.

The whining from the Kremlin has been pitiful, and the Russian general population is finally realizing that not only are they in a war, but those bastard Ukrainians can fire back.
