A new onslaught of Russian strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure on Wednesday caused power outages across the country.
A new onslaught of Russian strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure Wednesday caused power outages across the country — and in neighboring Moldova — further hobbling Ukraine’s battered electricity network and compounding civilians’ misery as winter advances.
Russia’s deputy U.N. ambassador Dmitry Polyansky said on Telegram that such a meeting has been called for 4 p.m. local time. Kyiv resident Oleksii Kolpachov told the Associated Press that he heard an explosion as he was going up an escalator out of the subway. It was Moldova’s second outage this month. Pro-Western President Maia Sandu charged that “Russia left Moldova in the dark.” She said the future of Moldova, a country of about 2.6 million, “must remain toward the free world.” Moldova’s foreign minister said the Russian ambassador was being summoned to give explanations.
The barrages started in October, with targets being hit early in the morning and power restored to many places by the evening. Wednesday’s strike and another major round last week occurred in the afternoon on short autumn days, leaving workers toiling to restore supplies after dark. Medical workers’ efforts have been complicated by the succession of Russian attacks on infrastructure.Russia retreated nearly two weeks agoMany doctors in the city are working in the dark, unable to use elevators to transport patients to surgery and operating with headlamps, cellphones and flashlights. In some hospitals, key equipment no longer works.
