Ukraine suffers from severe power shortage due to repeated Russian attacks on power plants, etc. Ukraine's largest private energy company attacked two of its largest coal-fired power plants.
Half of the power generation capacity was lost, and it may take more than a year to restore. President Zelenskiy accused Russia in a video released on the 30th, saying, ``Russian terrorists are carrying out heinous attacks to drain Ukraine of its energy.'' Japan once again requested assistance from Western countries to strengthen its air defense capabilities.
