Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure are pure terror of civilians, especially the most vulnerable people. Russia must answer for its war crimes.

Most of Kyiv is without electricity, there's not enough even for critical infrastructure after the Russian attacks.
Many are without heating, as well.
A lot of stores have to close because generators cannot cope in the cold.
Most trolleybuses and trams stopped due to lack of electricity.
