However, this morning Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of “fighting against the ordinary life of people” with its early-hours strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

Russia attacked electrical power facilities across much of Ukraine – including the country’s largest hydroelectric plant and Europe’s largest nuclear power station – causing widespread outages and killing at least three people, officials said.

Zelensky said on the Telegram messaging app: “The world sees the targets of Russian terrorists as clearly as possible: power plants and energy supply lines, a hydroelectric dam, ordinary residential buildings, even a trolleybus. Russia is fighting against the ordinary life of people.”
