Ukrainian officials accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilian energy facilities to intensify pressure during the winter months.

The strikes come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to end the war, highlighting the gap between negotiations and realities on the ground as Ukraine faces another harsh winter under continued assault.
