KEY POINTSUkraine is dealing with the aftermath of missile attacks with power and water supplies still damaged in many locations after critical infrastructure was targeted by Russia.Russia appears to be ramping up its targeting of Ukraine’s energy facilities and systems with a series of missile attacks this week singling out such infrastructure and leaving thousands of Ukrainians without water and power.Ukraine has been dealing with a spate of Russian missile attacks on its energy infrastructure this week, causing the widespread loss of water and power supplies, damaging its communications network and prompting blackouts in cities across the country.They affected hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and there are concerns that such attacks, and the likelihood of Russia continuing to target critical infrastructure, leaves civilians very vulnerable as winter approaches.“The latest figures that we have is that about 30% of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure has been damaged and the government is doing everything they can to ensure that everything is quickly restored,” Yuriy Sak, an advisor to Ukraine’s Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov, told CNBC Wednesday.
