Russian forces launched a significant aerial attack on Ukraine, targeting gas facilities and leading to temporary electricity outages. The Ukrainian energy company Naftogaz reported damage in the Poltava region but confirmed that no casualties occurred. Ukrainian officials promptly enacted emergency measures to stabilize the power supply. The bombardment coincided with Ukrainian President Zelensky's participation in the Munich Security Conference, where U.S. officials are expected to discuss strategies for resolving the ongoing conflict. This attack underscores the heightened tensions as both sides remain engaged in a protracted war.
The assault took place as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is leading a delegation to the Munich Security Conference later this week, expected to meet with top Washington officials.
Ukraine's state energy distributor Ukrenergo introduced emergency electricity outages in some regions, lifted once the attacks ended and the power system stabilized.
