Russia unleashes a massive assault on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Find out more about the ongoing strikes and their impact on critical facilities in Ukraine.

Russia has launched a relentless assault on Ukraine's power grid, targeting energy facilities and critical infrastructure in multiple regions. The Ukrainian air force reported that air defense systems successfully intercepted and shot down 12 out of 16 missiles and all 13 drones launched by Russia in the overnight attack. The strikes caused extensive damage to Ukrainian power facilities, with reports of injuries and disruptions to the energy supply in the southeast and west of the country.

The Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities have intensified, with reports of missile barrages and drone strikes continuing to target critical infrastructure. In a significant escalation, a Ukrainian natural gas facility in the west of the country was hit by a Russian air strike. The series of alerts issued by the Ukrainian Air Force tracked the routes of drones and missiles in Ukrainian airspace, highlighting the ongoing threats faced by the country's energy infrastructure.

Amidst the relentless onslaught, Ukrainian soldiers have found solace in yoga practices for healing and wellness. The use of yoga, pranayama, and spiritual mantras like the 'Hare Krishna Mahamantra' have been adopted by Ukrainian soldiers to help them maintain emotional control and cope with the stress of the conflict. Additionally, the Biden administration's decision to allow the Azov Brigade, a far-right Ukrainian military unit, to receive U.S. weaponry and training has raised concerns and sparked debate about the implications of such support.

As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalates, humanitarian organizations like Project HOPE from the U.S. continue to provide vital medical assistance to residents on the frontlines in Ukraine. The ongoing battles for control over Ukraine's power system have led to unprecedented pressure on the country, with Russia launching multiple attacks on energy facilities since March, causing widespread disruptions and damage to critical infrastructure.
