Shelling by Russian forces struck several areas in eastern and southern Ukraine overnight as utility crews continued a scramble to restore power, water and heating following widespread strikes in recent weeks, officials said Sunday.
With persistent snowfall blanketing the capital, Kyiv, Sunday, analysts predicted that wintry weather -- bringing with it frozen terrain and grueling fighting conditions -- could have an increasing impact on the direction of the conflict that has raged since Russian forces invaded Ukraine more than nine months ago.
Ukrenergo, the state power grid operator, said Sunday that electricity producers are now supplying about 80 per cent of demand. That's an improvement from Saturday's 75 per cent, the company says. "It is unclear if either side is actively planning or preparing to resume major offensive or counter-offensive operations at that time, but the meteorological factors that have been hindering such operations will begin lifting," it said in a note published Saturday.
In the eastern Donetsk region, five people were killed in shelling over the past day, according to governor Pavlo Kyrylenko. Overnight shelling was reported by regional leaders in the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk areas to the west.
