Barrage of Russian attacks intended to cut Ukraine’s lights

(BBC News) In central Kharkiv you hear the rattle of generators on every street.

Ten days ago, Ukraine’s second largest city was plunged into darkness by a massive, targeted Russian missile attack on the energy system — it was the biggest since the start of the full-scale war.

As Kharkiv works to restore power, there has been a wave of additional strikes across the country targeting the energy supply.

Volodymyr Zelensky has condemned what he calls Russia’s “missile terror”.

The Ukrainian president has also renewed his calls to his country’s allies for more air defence systems as protection.
