Russian forces have intensified strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, outpacing repair efforts and causing prolonged outages across multiple regions, including Zhytomyr and Kyiv. These attacks appear strategically timed to weaken Ukraine's negotiating position ahead of US-brokered peace talks, where territorial concessions have been suggested. The sustained degradation of Ukraine's power generation capacity is confirmed, with the full extent of damage and restoration timelines remaining uncertain.
