Russian missile and drone attacks toppled more Ukraine power supplies on Thursday, forcing electricity grid operator Ukrenergo to prepare for rolling blackouts. Power demand exceeded supply for the first time since Russian salvos began targeting electricity infrastructure last week, according to the latest Ukrenergo data published by the International Energy Agency. Officials appealed for Ukrainians to reduce consumption. “The enemy’s constant missile attacks are destroying our energy infrastructure,” Ukrenergo said in a message posted on Telegram. Ukrainians need to be “conscious and frugal,” and electricity may be unavailable on Thursday between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. local time, it said.
