Swarms of Russian drones plunge parts of Ukraine into darkness, as Zelensky turns to Europe again
- On Oct. 21, Chernihiv Oblast was struck overnight by Russian forces, leaving hundreds of thousands without power and water while repair crews could not start due to ongoing strikes.
- Amid easing international pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russia intensified attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, and northern border regions like Chernihiv and Sumy faced repeated strikes this past month.
- Analysts note attackers deployed a mix of drones and missiles, sometimes overwhelming Ukraine's air defenses, while Russian forces used FPV drones to target transformers and energy installations.
- Later Tuesday, about 20 Russian drones struck Novhorod-Siverskyi, killing two men and two women, while towns like Shostka, Sumy Oblast remain without full power.
- The government is seeking more air defenses and longer-range missiles, proposing to use about $200 billion in frozen Russian assets to buy Patriot air-defense batteries.
