Air strikes have cut power and water supplies to hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, part of what the country’s president called an expanding Russian campaign to drive the nation into the cold and dark and make peace talks impossible.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said nearly a third of Ukraine’s power stations have been destroyed in the past week, “causing massive blackouts across the country”.
