Kyiv plunged into cold and darkness by Russian strikes on power grid
About 500,000 people in Kyiv were left without power on Saturday, December 27, after a massive Russian attack, Ukrainian energy company DTEK said on Telegram. High-rise apartment buildings stood in darkness, with cars driving along dim streets accompanied by the hum of diesel generators. Russia attacked Kyiv and other parts of Ukraine with hundreds of missiles and drones on Saturday, ahead of what President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said would be a crucial meeting with US President Donald Trump to work out a plan to end nearly four years of war. State grid operator Ukrenergo said energy facilities across Ukraine were struck by Russia, and emergency power cuts had been implemented across the capital. Ukraine's foreign minister said a third of Kyiv was left without heat by the strikes as temperatures hovered around 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) on Saturday morning.
