Recent air attacks by Russia on Ukraine have specifically targeted energy facilities, resulting in damage to power generation and transmission plants across multiple regions. While no casualties were reported, the attacks have caused equipment damage and fires.

These assaults add pressure to Ukraine's energy system, which has already been strained by previous attacks and may worsen electricity shortages during peak consumption periods. The ongoing wave of attacks on energy infrastructure further complicates the already challenging situation in Ukraine, with President Zelensky calling for a peace summit in Switzerland amidst concerns over the threat posed by Russia's aggressive actions.
