<span style="color: #222222;">The Ukrainian authorities have warned people in the capital Kyiv to expect longer power cuts, lasting more than four hours, because of Russian attacks on energy infrastructure. Rolling blackouts are hitting not only Kyiv but also central regions of Ukraine, including the city of Dnipro. President Volodymyr Zelensky said that about four million people were affected but "shelling will not break us". He further said that about one-third of the country's electric power stations have been destroyed. According to the private energy company DTEK the Kyiv region has lost 30 percent of its power capacity. The power cuts have compelled curbs on the use of street lights and electric-powered public transport, besides the discomfort in people's homes.</span><br />
