The strikes hit critical infrastructure in Kyiv and other regions, causing widespread power outages in the heart of winter in the capital and other large parts of the country that will continue for days to come, officials warned.
❗️Those most important moments of silence when rescuers heard the voice of a woman from under the rubble. There is only deathly silence around.

The strikes – the largest wave of Russian attacks on Ukraine two weeks ago–they happened on the day Ukrainians celebrated the coming of the New Year (based on the Julian calendar).
