Kyiv has sustained its first co-ordinated attacks on the city's energy grid since the end of last winter. Commentators say Russia has stepped up its strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure, exploiting a shortage of air defences as Western military aid remains delayed. The attacks renew fears of a repeat of last year's campaign of blackouts during the cold months.
Why now: Russia appears to have resumed its winter campaign of strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure while Ukraine faces air defence shortages.
