Winter in Ukraine turns brutal amid Russian onslaught: 'Over 50% of energy infrastructure destroyed'

Description

Ukraine's government promised to create shelters to provide heat and water and encouraged citizens to conserve energy as a harsh winter loomed amid relentless Russian strikes that have left its power structure in tatters. The head of Ukraine's national power grid operator said the damage dealt to power-generating facilities by Russian missile attacks was "colossal" but he dismissed the need to evacuate civilians. Special "invincibility centres" will be set up around Ukraine to provide electricity, heat, water, internet, mobile phone connections and pharmacy service, free of charge and around the clock, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said. For more on Russia's onslaught of Ukraine's energy infrastructure, joining FRANCE 24 is Olena Pavlenko, President of DiXi Group.
