In Ukraine, there has been a series of attacks by the Russian military targeting energy facilities such as power plants. Some have pointed out that Russian military is escalating its attacks with the aim of reducing the capabilities of the defense industry.
One of the region's largest thermal power plants in the eastern Kharkiv region was completely destroyed in an attack on the 22nd. This means that large-scale rolling blackouts are continuing. Meanwhile, the British Ministry of Defense noted on the 30th that Russian forces continue to advance slowly west of Audiiivka.
