Ukraine will impose restrictions on electricity starting from Thursday (Oct 20), the country's presidency said on Wednesday (Oct 19) after Russian missile and drone strikes demolished large parts of the country's power grid.

Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the Ukrainian president's office, said: "Today the enemy again destroyed energy generating facilities... it is necessary to minimise the use of electricity."

Russian forces continued ground attacks near Bakhmut and Avdiivka. Russian troops launched 10 missile and 18 air strikes, carrying out more than 76 MLRS attacks. Russia hit Ukraine’s energy infrastructure again: explosions heard in Kyiv, air defense deployed in Brovary.

Ukrainian army repelled the attacks of the Russian troops in Kharkiv, Luhansk, and Donetsk oblast. Russian troops conducted a limited ground attack in northern Kharkiv Oblast.
