More than four million Ukrainians have had their electricity supply cut off, with the capital and its suburbs the worst affected, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said on Sunday. His statement followed weeks of Russian strikes on Ukrainian power infrastructure, after Moscow accused Kiev of ‘sabotage’ attacks.
