Brokers unprecedented localized ceasefire for emergency nuclear safety repairs after 12th ZNPP blackout
Since October 2022, Russia has waged a parallel war on Ukraine's electricity, heating and transport systems, launching repeated waves of missiles and drones at power plants, high-voltage substations, rail hubs and ports. The campaign has dramatically intensified in the winter of 2025–26, with near-daily massive barrages destroying 70% of Ukraine's generating capacity and forcing the government to declare a formal energy emergency on January 15, 2026.
