What Sybiha said

Foreign minister Andrii Sybiha wrote on X that since US President Donald Trump announced an energy truce, Russia has carried out 76 attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. “The signal could not be clearer: Moscow has not kept a single commitment,” he said. In one week alone Russia launched almost 2,700 strike drones, 1,700 glide bombs and 66 missiles. He warned that easing economic pressure would give the Kremlin more resources for war.

Power on 18 October

Ukrenergo said that from 06:00 to 23:59 on Sunday capacity limits for industry and business apply in all regions, and some regions have hourly outages for all consumers (0.5 to 1.5 queues), as a result of massive attacks on energy facilities.
