LIVE UPDATES: UK Military Aid to Kiev Could Increase Next Year - Reports
Russia launched its special military operation in Ukraine in February, after Ukraine increased attacks against the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics. Since Russia launched a military operation, western countries have been providing Ukraine with humanitarian, military and financial aid. | Energy facilities across Ukraine have been targeted by Russia since 10 October in retaliation for Ukrainian attacks on Russian infrastructure and the bombing of the Crimean bridge, which, according to Moscow, was carried out by Ukrainian special services. ● Earlier, on Friday, Ukraine's Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said that almost half the country's energy system has not been able to operate because of Russia's missile strikes. Authorities have urged people to reduce their use of electricity and have implemented rolling black-outs.
