Zelensky says Ukraine’s energy system hit by massive attack

The scale here is the story: strikes spread across more than 15 generation and transmission sites, paired with a drone-and-missile volume that suggests saturation rather than a single targeted blow. For energy and infrastructure markets, the practical question is not the headline count but how much capacity stays offline and how long repairs take, since that shapes demand for replacement power and imports. Zelensky's separate claim that Washington is ignoring the 2026 sanctions framework adds a political variable to an already physical shock. Whether the sanctions angle gains traction, or fades as a rhetorical point, is the open question.
