Ukraine Plunged into Darkness as Russia Intensifies Attacks

Russia’s war against Ukraine has escalated, with a massive attack targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. This attack, which included over 100 missiles and 100 drones, caused widespread power outages throughout Ukraine, leaving much of the country in darkness. The attack also disrupted water supplies, adding to the hardship faced by Ukrainian civilians. The attack comes as tensions between the two countries continue to escalate, with Russia claiming to have killed over 5,800 Ukrainian troops in recent weeks. Russia has been accused of employing a strategy of encirclement and overwhelming firepower to gain territory, while Ukraine has been fiercely resisting the invasion. International efforts to mediate the conflict have so far been unsuccessful. India is now considering hosting a second peace summit, following an earlier attempt that failed due to Russia’s absence. However, the latest escalation of violence casts a shadow over any potential peace talks.
