"Russia launched more than 200 missile and drones at Ukraine’s energy grid
overnight and in the early morning, killing seven people in its largest-scale
attack in months, and forcing the country to announce nationwide electricity
rationing from Monday.

Ukrenergo, Ukraine’s principal energy supplier, said blackouts and consumption
restrictions would be introduced “in all regions” as engineers tried to repair
as much of the damage to power facilities as possible.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian president, said about 120 missiles and 90
drones had been fired into Ukraine in a nationwide attack he described as the
work of “Russian terrorists”.

The attack was the largest missile and drone assault on Ukraine since August
and the first big Russian assault since the US election, showing the Kremlin in
little mood to compromise after Donald Trump’s victory."
