Recent Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian critical infrastructure, including thermal power plants, have resulted in severe damage and power shortages across the country. The attacks have added pressure to Ukraine's already strained energy system, leading to restrictions on electricity supply to industries and businesses.

Ukraine is now seeking emergency power supply options from European countries due to the significant impact on power generation capacity. Russia's use of Kinzhal missiles and other weaponry in these attacks has escalated tensions, prompting Ukraine to repel further drone attacks.

The international community, including the US and the EU, is preparing additional aid packages for Ukraine to address the repercussions of the ongoing conflict.
