.: French President Emmanuel Macron described the Russian attacks on the Ukrainian electricity and water supply as war crimes.

"Any strike against civilian infrastructure constitutes a war crime and must not go unpunished," Macron said.

"With winter approaching, we will gather Ukraine's international supporters in Paris on December 13 to help the country resist and ensure its access to energy," Macron said.

"We also don't forget Moldova, which is also affected by water and power cuts."

After blackouts in Ukraine: power supply partially restored

Update from November 24, 6:07 a.m

.: It was a dark night in Ukraine.

After the massive Russian missile attack, Ukrainian technicians have once again tried to repair their country's badly damaged energy supply.

The Office of the President in Kyiv reported the first successes late on Wednesday evening: In 15 areas there is partial electricity again, said Vice President Kyrylo Tymoshenko.

Previously, there were large-scale blackouts.

The country's nuclear power plants shut down, and most thermal and hydroelectric power plants failed, the Energy Ministry said.

Repair work on the electricity grid in Ukraine will continue on Thursday.

Ukraine is also expecting another ship to pick up grain for transport across the Black Sea.

According to the UN, three ships carrying grain left Ukrainian ports on Wednesday.

The United Nations and Turkey had made Ukrainian exports possible in coordination with Russia.

Death toll from Russian missile strikes soars — 80 percent of Kyiv without electricity or water

First report from November 23, 2022:

Kyiv — The Russian army launched heavy rocket attacks in the Ukrainian region on Wednesday.

As in the past few weeks in the Ukraine war, the central target of the attacks was the capital Kyiv.

The death toll rose to seven on Wednesday evening.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Oleksii Kuleba spoke of four victims in the area around the capital.

Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko reports three fatalities from the city area.

Around 70 rockets were fired from Russian aircraft at civilian infrastructure targets.

According to Ukrainian sources, most of them were shot down by anti-aircraft guns.

"All municipal services are working to restore Kyiv's electricity and water supply as quickly as possible," said the mayor of the city of three million.

In the districts of Kyiv affected by the total power failure, hand-operated sirens and loudspeakers are now to warn of possible new Russian air raids.

This was announced by the administration of the Ukrainian capital on Wednesday evening.

Police and civil protection use such devices.

"Please heed these warnings and go to a shelter in the event of an air alert!" It said.

Most Ukrainians have an app on their mobile phone that shows the start and end of air alerts.

But mobile phones also need electricity.

Russian missile attacks: Zaporizhia nuclear power plant cut off again

Large-scale blackouts also occurred in other parts of the country.

"Today's rocket attacks have resulted in the temporary shutdown of all nuclear power plants and the majority of thermal and hydroelectric power plants," the Ministry of Energy in Kyiv said on Facebook on Wednesday.

The Zaporizhia nuclear power plant was again cut off from the external power supply as a result of the attacks.

As reported by the Atomic Energy Agency IAEA, diesel generators are currently being used again for bridging.

Russian troops have been occupying Europe's largest nuclear power plant for months.
