Ukraine’s power grid operator says a massive Russian attack has knocked out electricity across the country, with President Volodymyr Zelensky stating that more than 400 drones and 40 missiles were involved. Officials say that in recent weeks hundreds of thousands of people have been left without heating or lighting in temperatures well below zero, as Russia has continued its strikes despite US-brokered talks that have so far failed to deliver any tangible results. France24 correspondent Emmanuelle Chaze reports the latest from Kharkiv, Ukraine.
