Power blackouts in Ukraine as Russia edge closer to Bakhmut
“We are not afraid of the dark,” says President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as Ukraine’s grid operator announces temporary blackouts in several cities following Russian attacks on energy facilities. Russian soldiers are edging closer to Bakhmut, which has remained under Ukrainian control despite Moscow’s goal of capturing the entire Donbas region. Taking the city would hurt Ukraine’s supply lines and allow Russian forces to continue towards Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, the crucial Ukrainian strongholds in the Donetsk province.
