During the night, Russian aerial assaults have resulted in electricity outages in extensive areas of the capital city, Kyiv.

Moscow has escalated assaults on electrical systems over the past few days, while Ukrainian leadership has requested "concrete actions" from partner nations to exert influence on Moscow.
