Ukraine's Energy Infrastructure Faces Crisis Amid Renewed Russian Attacks

Recent escalations in the Ukraine conflict have led to significant damage to the country's energy infrastructure. A series of Russian missile and drone attacks resulted in widespread power outages, affecting major cities such as Kyiv, Dnipro, and Kharkiv.

These assaults not only caused fatalities but also pressured Ukrainian officials to urgently restore essential services. In response to these attacks, Ukraine plans to import US liquid natural gas to mitigate the heating crisis.

Meanwhile, diplomatic tensions continue as the EU cancels multiple-entry visas for most Russian nationals, and Hungary seeks an indefinite waiver from US sanctions on Russian energy imports, highlighting its reliance on Russian resources. The situation remains precarious as international calls for sanctions against Russia intensify.
