Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed that every power station in the country is now damaged, leading to the kind of infrastructure failures that occur even when the missiles aren't flying. In Kyiv, residents are dealing with water outages and voltage fluctuations that swing from 168 to 270 volts, a range that few household appliances are designed to survive. Some locals have taken to blocking roads to protest the length of the blackouts. The domestic security services are providing their own distractions. The anti-corruption bureau alleges that during a search of a high-ranking official, special forces threatened detectives with automatic weapons while a general reportedly used a hammer to destroy mobile phones and a hard drive. Separately, the SBU has conducted an "urgent search" of a military intelligence employee, further straining the relationship between the two agencies. On the front lines, the death toll from a strike on a school in Komyshuvakha has risen to 53 as search operations enter their fifth day. While the military reported the destruction of two Russian ammunition depots in Zaporizhzhia, the capital is now looking toward next week, when Jared Kushner claims the US will host peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow.
