Moscow's renewed assault on power grids and transmission lines in the last three months has knocked out about half Ukraine's available generation capacity, causing daily blackouts of up to 12 hours in major cities including the capital Kyiv. As the big mobile operators struggle to keep their base stations running, official pressure is growing; President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has ordered a review of their activities and the regulator says that, by February, they must be able to cover an outage of up to 10 hours - rather than four, as now.
