Russia Launches Major Strikes on Ukraine's Energy Grid Amid Freezing Temperatures, Causing Deaths and Outages

Russia launched a significant barrage of drones and missiles targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure and other sites, resulting in at least four deaths and widespread power outages. The attacks, described as the most concentrated this year, occurred amid freezing temperatures, exacerbating the impact on civilians. Ukrainian officials reported damage to power plants, postal terminals, and residential areas, while also stating that air defense systems intercepted a portion of the projectiles. The strikes come as the conflict nears its four-year mark and diplomatic efforts have yielded no tangible results.
