KYIV, Ukraine - Ukraine on Thursday warned that difficult winter months lay ahead after a"massive" Russian missile barrage targeted civilian infrastructure, leaving several dead and wounded in towns across Ukraine.
Moscow hit cities from Rivne in western Ukraine to Kherson in the south, the capital Kyiv and cities in the centre and northeast of the country. Kyiv said there were power cuts across the country -- in almost 400 cities, towns and villages -- as Russia targeted energy sites, but Ukraine added it was"too early" to tell if this was the start of a new Russian campaign against its energy sites.Last winter many Ukrainians had to go without electricity and heating in freezing temperatures as Russia hit Kyiv's energy facilities.
Some residents outside were still in dressing gowns as they watched emergency workers put out a fire the authorities said had spread over 400 square meters ."We thought we were being hit, it was very scary," she told AFP."There are no words to describe these emotions." Tensions over Ukraine's grain exports have built since Russia ended a deal that allowed for cargo ships' safe passage on the Black Sea.
"There are partial power cuts in Rivne, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv region," it said on Telegram.
