CLAIM · ASSESSED ~ · CONFIDENCE 0.60
An energy provider reported a peninsula-wide blackout in Russia-occupied Crimea; Ukrainian attacks cut power to Sevastopol early Monday before restoration.
WHY THIS MATTERS · This matters because Russia has resumed hitting Ukraine's grid substations heading into a war-strained year and just opened a new front across the Oskil river near Kupiansk, threatening both civilian heat and a fresh Ukrainian defensive collapse.
