A large-scale Russian drone attack on Ukrainian energy facilities left more than 220,000 people without power in the northern Sumy Oblast, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Wednesday.

Restoration Underway After Energy Facilities Damaged
President Zelensky shared the news via Twitter, stating, "Russian drones targeted energy infrastructure. As a result of the damage to these facilities, more than 220,000 users in the Sumy Oblast were left without electricity. That's hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian families." He also confirmed that electricity had already been restored to most of the affected homes by Wednesday morning.

Zelensky added that Ukraine's Minister of Internal Affairs and Minister of Energy would report on the full restoration progress during the day. He praised the efforts of repair crews and energy sector workers, highlighting their determination and resilience in rebuilding after each attack.

Ukraine Demands Ceasefire Amid New Round of Talks
As Ukrainian and Russian delegations gathered in Istanbul for their third round of talks this year, Zelensky reiterated Ukraine's demand for a complete ceasefire. He emphasized the importance of ending attacks on civilian infrastructure and noted that Ukrainian representatives would press this issue during discussions.

According to reports, the primary objective of the Istanbul talks is to arrange a direct meeting between President Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ukraine continues to stress the urgency of halting hostilities, particularly those that impact the civilian population and essential services.
