Pow­er black­outs in Ukraine as Russia edge closer to Bakhmut

“We are not afraid of the dark,” says President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as Ukraine’s grid operator announces temporary blackouts in several cities following Russian attacks on energy facilities.

Russian soldiers are edging closer to Bakhmut, which has remained under Ukrainian control despite Moscow’s goal of capturing the entire Donbas region. Taking the city would hurt Ukraine’s supply lines and allow Russian forces to continue towards Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, the crucial Ukrainian strongholds in the Donetsk province.

Al Jazeera's Assed Baig reports from Kramatorsk and Mohammed Jamjoom from Kyiv, Ukraine.

Thanks to the UK & US, we all heard across the world when they told Zelensky not to negotiate a peace deal, but continue to fight. For what? This misery and destruction?

[kissmatemasere]

If you don't know what's the building near you is that means it was used to store military backup equipment thanks to Russia

And they said all of those attacks on civilian infrastructures are meaningless. Now, kiev is facing darkness before the snow.

I am based in the UK. It comes to something when I have to go to foreign news outlets to hear the truth about whats going on in Ukraine

[Middle-Eastt]

If aljazeera says Russia is getting closer, it means Russia has captured and moved on 😃😃😃

[amaljinadasa]

Hold until all infrastructure getting destroyed

[allbullaside]

you got to love how the reporter switches from Kiev to Keev in the same sentence as he remembers his talking points and his propaganda training kicks in 😆

[waldensmith]

Thanks for the update on the Ukraine war. Keep up the good work at Aljazeera.

The Russians should target all the command, communications and control centers. No apologies.

[kaaraa-mardha]

Peaceful negotiation is inevitable. War is a dangerous business, specially with your neighbor

[fahey]

Notice BIG infrastructure destruction, huge explosions ... and no casualties. At worst, 1 or 2 persons who were unlucky enough to be there at the moment.

[TheBravehearted]

Zelensky is talking tough like he's on the front line 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[charlesachilefu]

Once upon a time, Aljazera meant something or so I thought. Now, they are just part of the Big Lie.

[peacewithyou]

Gains in war is not measured by terrotority won, but by combat soldiers neutralised. In that regard, Ukraine is a lost cause.

[popthatbeep]

How people are not aware that Zelensky declined peace talk with Russia so many times

[henryjohnson]

This is senseless.
What is Ukraine fighting for, after all these destruction!

[jagathnavinda]

If Ukraine stayed as it was these things will not happen, we are sorry about the people.

Not even a bit of smoke 💨 in the news background 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
