According to a statement by Ukraine's national power supply Ukrenergo on 28 November, power cuts have been applied throughout Ukraine due to emergency shutdown of units at several power plants as a result of waves of Russian missile attacks on the energy infrastructure. Energy consumption has grown in the country due to worsening weather conditions, with scheduled power cuts being a temporary solution to prevent emergency situations in the networks. Russian troops on 24 February entered Ukrainian territory, starting a conflict that has provoked destruction and a humanitarian crisis. EPA/OLEG PETRASYUK
