Blackouts and power restrictions remain in place across Ukraine as temperatures drop below freezing and snow is forecast to blanket Kyiv.

Millions of Ukrainians are facing severe power disruptions after recent waves of Russian missile and drone strikes have reportedly left almost half of Ukraine's energy infrastructure disabled and in need of repair, as temperatures plunge with the capital Kyiv experiencing the first winter snowfall.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that there are restrictions on the use of electricity in 14 out of Ukraine's 27 regions and in Kyiv, for "more than 100,000" customers in each of the regions. Sergey Kovalenko, chief operating officer of YASNO, which provides energy to Kyiv, said the situation in the city has improved but still remained "quite difficult." He indicated that residents should have at least four hours of power per day.

Electricity producers are able to cover only three-quarters of consumption needs, necessitating restrictions and blackouts across the country.Russia says it does not target the civilian population, while the Kremlin said that Moscow's strikes on energy infrastructure are a consequence of Kyiv being unwilling to negotiate.
