Parts of Ukraine and Moldova, including the neighbouring countries’ capitals, were plunged into blackouts on Saturday caused by a malfunction of high-voltage power lines. Power was later restored. Officials did not directly link the accident to war damage though Ukraine’s power grid has suffered from the accumulated impact of Russian airstrikes. That took place as negotiations continue – with US-led diplomacy yet to yield any tangible result. Story by Valeriane Gauthier and Nicholas Rushworth.
