Ukraine said Friday that almost half of the country’s power infrastructure was in need of repair following waves of Russian aerial attacks that have disrupted electricity supplies for millions of Ukrainians.

“Only on November 15, Russia fired about 100 missiles at Ukrainian cities. Nearly half of our energy system has been disabled,” Prime Minister Denys Shmygal said, while appealing to Ukraine’s European allies for support.
