🏭 Thermal

Russia targeted energy infrastructure with 39 ballistic missiles overnight, leaving 600,000 people without power across eight regions. In the capital, where all three thermal power plants were hit, the strikes killed three people and left residents without water or heat as temperatures begin to fall. The defense ministry reported that military operations were hindered by SpaceX, which restricted Starlink satellite speeds overnight without warning. This complicates a difficult week for Ukrainian diplomacy: President Zelenskyy confirmed the United States has threatened to cut off intelligence sharing if Ukraine continues to strike Russian oil refineries. The army provided a rare piece of good news from the front, announcing that Operation Vivaldi has reclaimed 101 square kilometres of territory. In the capital, the Verkhovna Rada continues to meet during air raids, though not every MP is reportedly willing to use the parliament's bomb shelters.
