According to an AP report, Russia launched a volley of further missile attacks on Ukraine's damaged electricity grid on Wednesday, knocking off water, power, and transportation in several locations.
Internet access and nuclear power reactors were also disrupted by aerial attacks on electrical grids, causing outages to spread to Moldova, a neighboring nation.
Attacks that happened quickly one after another were noted everywhere. The vast majority of energy consumers saw reduced supplies, according to the Ukrainian Energy Ministry.
The entire city of Kyiv lost water, according to the mayor of Kyiv. The electricity was also lost in Kharkiv, the second-largest city in Ukraine, in the northeast, and the city's public transportation was suspended.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gave the Ukrainian ambassador to the UN permission to call a special meeting of the Security Council.
According to the AP, Russia has been using missiles and drone bombs to assault the power grid and other facilities for weeks.
Before the most recent bombardment, according to Zelenskyy, millions of Ukrainians had become accustomed to the terrible new normal of power outages and strikes had already devastated roughly half of the country's energy infrastructure.
About 70 cruise missiles were launched by Russia, of which 51 were shot down along with five drones that exploded, according to the Ukrainian Air Force. As was the case the week before, the barrage's afternoon timing required crews to work into the winter's deep darkness to recover supplies.
According to the administration, Kyiv's residential buildings wouldn't have water or heating back until Thursday morning.
According to Doug Madory, director of internet analysis at network-monitoring Kentik Inc., Wednesday's outages were the cause of the largest internet outage to affect Ukraine in months as well as Moldova, a neighboring nation that has now mostly recovered.
