"Any [further] weakening...only encourages [Russian President Vladimir] Putin to prolong the war, inflict more damage on our country, our people, and others around the world,"
"For every strike Moscow launches on our energy system in an attempt to hurt ordinary people before winter, there must be a sanctions response against the entire Russian energy sector without exceptions,"
"Russia once again targeted substations that power the Khmelnytskiy and Rivne nuclear power plants,"
"These were not accidental, but well-planned strikes. Russia is deliberately jeopardizing Europe's nuclear safety,"
Ukrainian authorities reported deadly Russian drone and missile strikes early on November 8 that raised the death toll and damaged energy infrastructure across multiple regions. More than 450 drones and 45 missiles were reported launched, targeting normal life, residential buildings, energy facilities, and infrastructure. Substations supplying the Khmelnytskiy and Rivne nuclear power plants were struck, prompting calls for an urgent meeting of the UN nuclear watchdog over unacceptable risks. Emergency outages and blackouts affected thousands, and regional controlled power cuts were implemented to manage supplies ahead of winter while calls increased for broader sanctions and additional weapons.
