Ukraine is facing an energy crisis ahead of the winter cold season due to the conflict with Russia that started on Feb. 24.
On Oct. 18, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia’s attacks had destroyed about 30 per cent of Ukraine’s power stations, causing massive blackouts across the country.
