Russia and Ukraine have found themselves embroiled in a cycle of tit-for-tat attacks, resulting in power outages for over half a million people across the two countries. The conflict has seen around 450,000 people left without electricity in the Belgorod region of Russia, while 150,000 consumers in Chernihiv, Ukraine, have also been affected.
