Russia making ‘incremental gains’ on Ukraine battlefield at ‘significant cost,’ Lloyd Austin warnsof the war, hitting a vast dam, killing at least five people and leaving more than a million others without electricity, Kyiv said.
The attack by Russia, which vowed last week to punish Kyiv for conducting attacks and strikes during its presidential election, brought back memories of the first winter of the invasion when Moscow regularly bombed the power grid. The company’s director Ihor Syrota said both its power blocks and the dam had been damaged. One of the blocks sustained two direct strikes, he said.
