Ukraine has been hit by massive power cuts after attacks from Russian drones.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed via Telegram that more than 100,000 Ukrainian homes in the Poltava, Sumy and Chernihiv regions were affected.
The Ukrainian leader said that 100 drone attacks had been carried out, with energy facilities as the main targets.
However, a school and a high-rise building were also hit.
"New steps are needed to put pressure on Russia to stop the strikes and truly guarantee security. We are working with partners for such pressure," Zelensky wrote in his post on Wednesday.
This comes after a meeting in Kyiv earlier this week, with Zelensky and the head of British armed forces.
“Russia continues to carry out systematic terrorist attacks against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, which is a direct violation of international humanitarian law. Since March 2025, there have been over 2,900 attacks on energy infrastructure," added Ukraine's Ministry of Energy on the drone attacks.
“[The ministry] urges the international community to step up sanctions pressure on the aggressor state and to provide Ukraine with additional support to protect critical infrastructure facilities.”
