What each source reports. "Source tone" reflects the language used by the outlet — it is not an independent verification.
Russian missile and drone strikes in winter 2022-23 damaged but failed to destroy Ukraine's power grid thanks to Ukrainian civilian willingness to endure blackouts and slowly increasing Ukrainian air defense capacity.
Russia attempted to use winter as a weapon against Ukraine last year, targeting the country's energy system with cyberattacks and hundreds of drone and missile strikes.
