RUSSIANS and Ukrainians were killed in crossfires today following one of the largest attacks by Moscow in recent weeks.

Electrical power facilities in much of Ukraine were hit by more than 60 drones and about 90 rockets, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, causing widespread outages and killing at least five people.

Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko accused Russia of trying to provoke “a large-scale failure of the country’s energy system.”
