Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky says 4.5 million people are without power following Russian attacks.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused the Kremlin of resorting to "energy terrorism" as Russian troops make few gains on the battlefield.
The strikes come as officials say Russian troops are likely to withdraw from the key southern city of Kherson. The Ukrainian government has been forced to urge the population to try and use energy sparingly as a result. Mr Zelensky's accusation comes as reports emerge stating that Russian troops are leaving the occupied city of Kherson, signalling a major retreat for Russia.
Instead of trying to keep control of the city, they said Russian troops were building up their defensive positions on the other side of the Dnipro River, as part of a wider Russian move to establish better defensive lines throughout southern and eastern Ukraine before the arrival of winter. Occupying authorities have also been evacuating thousands of civilians from the area over a number of weeks.
