Residents stocked up on supplies as authorities warned of rolling blackouts and scrambled to repair damage from Russia's missile attack targeting infrastructure
KYIV, Ukraine — With Kyiv facing rolling electricity outages, authorities on Tuesday raced to repair the damage from a barrage of Russian missiles that slammed into the heart of the Ukrainian capital, in a significant escalation of the nearly eight-month-old war that drew international condemnation of Moscow.
Olga Sali, who was surveying the gaping crater a Russian bomb left near a playground in one of the city’s central parks, said that she had just dropped her 10-year-old daughter at school on Monday morning before the first missiles struck. Terrified, she hurried to an underground shelter. To help ease the strain on the grid, the utility announced rolling power outages lasting up to four hours across sectors of the city. It asked people to refrain from using washing machines and other heavy-demand appliances during peak consumption hours, and also urged them to keep devices charged as much as possible given likely service cuts. Water service was also disrupted temporarily in some areas.
“War has clear rules,” he said, which Russia has violated. Klitschko said Russia’s leaders were trying “to make people helpless without services, but it’s not successful.
