Ukraine's energy infrastructure was under persistent attack by Russian missiles and drones from the capital Kyiv in the north to Dnipro in central Ukraine and Odesa in the south, the military said

Ukraine's energy infrastructure was under persistent attack by Russian missiles and drones from the capital Kyiv in the north to Dnipro in central Ukraine and Odesa in the south, the military said in a statement.

A UN agency said a serious humanitarian crisis loomed, with millions facing"constant power cuts" as Ukraine's typically long, cold winter begins. The Donetsk region has experienced the heaviest fighting in Russia's nine-month-long war on Ukraine. But with Russia stepping up strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure as it faces growing losses on the ground, Kyiv is pressuring its supporters - in particular the United States - to provide advanced equipment such as Patriot missiles and F-15 warplanes.

When Russia invaded in February, Ukraine's air defences largely consisted of Soviet-era planes and missile systems, which Kyiv used effectively to deny Moscow air superiority. He attributed the success of Ukraine's air defences to several factors, including that the country"had a lot of surface-to-air missile systems" that were"competently operated."
