KYIV — A fresh wave of Russian strikes damaged critical infrastructure facilities in at least four Ukrainian regions on Monday morning, including the capital, prompting officials to warn of sustained power outages. Kyiv’s mayor reported that 80 percent of the city was without water after a nearby energy facility was damaged.
“Instead of fighting on the battlefield, Russia fights civilians,” Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba wrote on Twitter.
The barrage of strikes comes two days after drones damaged Russian warships in the Crimean port of Sevastopol, which Ukraine has not taken responsibility for. Following that attack, Moscow withdrew from a U.N.-brokered deal to safeguard grain being exported out of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports, triggering concerns for global food supplies.
