Ukraine CCD reports Russian pattern: bomb power plants, then blame Kyiv for outages

The Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) highlights a recurring Russian tactic: striking power infrastructure and then spreading disinformation that Kyiv is responsible for outages by diverting electricity domestically or exporting to Europe. This is an established pattern, not a new development, but the CCD's public report underscores the ongoing information warfare component of the conflict. The claim is based on Ukrainian official reporting and is not independently verified.
