Russia accused of striking power grid amid Ukraine offensive
Ukraine has announced fresh gains in its counter-offensive, including the recapture of the strategic city of Izyum in the country’s east, where Kyiv accused Russia of carrying out reprisal strikes against electricity infrastructure.
Throughout the weekend Ukraine claimed new military successes against Russia’s army in the east and south, the latest coming Sunday night when President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared Izyum “liberated”.
Moscow conceded having lost territory, and experts have said the confirmed recapture by Ukraine of the city would represent a serious blow to Moscow’s military ambitions in east Ukraine.
