Kyiv faces worst winter The WSJ reports a "vicious cycle" of power outages and emergencies in the Ukrainian capital. According to Andrey Kharchenko, director of the Energy Research Center, power outages will alternate with emergency repairs, temporary restoration and new shutdowns. Kharchenko noted that Kyiv's energy infrastructure has accumulated enormous damage over years of conflict, which has greatly complicated stable operations. He added that last year's Russian strikes caused significant long-term damage to the capital's production capabilities.
