Ukraine endures one of the most intense standout attacks on August 26, Prime Minister’s Advisor and Ukrenergo Board member says

Explosions were reported in numerous areas, with air defense systems springing into action. In the aftermath, several regions and countless residents were plunged into darkness as power outages swept through the nation.

Yurii Boiko, an Advisor to the Prime Minister of Ukraine and a member of the Supervisory Board of Ukrenergo, detailed the situation during a briefing at the Media Center Ukraine.
