Russia Pounds Ukraine Power Grid in Overnight Attacks on 10 Regions: Five Major Substations Hit and Two People Killed in Vinnytsia Region
Russian forces struck 10 Ukrainian regions overnight in air attacks that targeted five major electrical substations, sparked widespread power outages and killed two people, Ukrainian officials said on November 10. The latest strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure came as Russian, Ukrainian and US negotiators began two days of talks in Abu Dhabi.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Sergiy Koretskyi said on Telegram that Russia had hit substations in the Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Vinnytsia and Kirovohrad regions. The two fatalities occurred in the Vinnytsia region.
State grid operator Ukrenergo had earlier issued statements on the attacks on the grid. Reuters described the strikes as part of a renewed air campaign as winter approaches, focused on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
The talks in Abu Dhabi represent the first three-way meeting since February. US envoy Jared Kushner said recent contacts with both sides had made progress.
Separately, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia would not agree to an immediate ceasefire without knowing what would happen next.
