Russian strikes on energy infrastructure in eastern Ukraine have left roughly 600,000 people without power, according to Ukrainian officials. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy cited the outages in renewing his call for tougher sanctions on Russia, made ahead of talks in Abu Dhabi. The blackouts underscore how attacks on the grid continue to disrupt daily life and basic services as diplomacy proceeds. The Abu Dhabi talks are the next focal point, with attention on whether they yield concrete steps on sanctions or energy support.
