Zelensky accuses Russia of Crimes against Humanity.

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of crimes against humanity after a new missile barrage caused blackouts across the country, killing at least seven people.

Zelensky told the United Nations UN Security Council via video link that the Russian formula of terror had forced millions of people to stay without energy supplies, without heating, without water in sub-zero cold.

Nuclear power plants went offline and the three plants still under Ukrainian control were disconnected from the grid while the Zapo/Rizh/Zhia plant, Europe’s largest was forced again to rely on diesel generators to power its cooling systems and key safety equipment.

Neighboring Moldova also experienced massive blackouts yesterday but was not directly hit.
