Russia earlier today launched its biggest barrage of missile attacks against Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion, in what Kremlin strongman Vladimir Putin said was retaliation for the recent attack on the strategic bridge linking Russia to the annexed Crimean peninsula. .

Ukraine’s Energy Ministry has announced it will suspend electricity exports to the European Union following today’s Russian missile attacks on energy infrastructure.

“Today’s missile attacks, which hit thermal power plants and electricity distribution substations, forced Ukraine to suspend electricity exports from October 11, 2022 to stabilize the domestic energy system,” the ministry said in a statement posted on its website.

Ukraine’s Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko said the attacks on the energy system were “the biggest since the start of the war.”

In June, Ukraine’s energy ministry said it hoped to earn 1.5 billion euros in electricity exports to the EU by the end of the year.

Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine on February 24. It has repeatedly denied attacks on civilian targets.
