The power situation in Ukraine shows considerable variation by region: in areas near the battle lines and in the capital city, acute issues with power and heating are apparent, while the west of the nation is experiencing a somewhat steadier situation.

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have articulated their stance regarding the probable intensification of tensions involving Iran.
This is mentioned in the article by The Wall Street Journal.
According to the report, both nations declined to offer the United States their land and airspace for potential strikes against Iran. The judgment encompasses both air operations and the utilization of military installations.
It is highlighted that these are crucial allies of Washington in the Persian Gulf, whose viewpoint has evolved into a significant element for regional safety and potential scenarios.
The article reminds readers that in 2019, Iran attacked Saudi Arabia's petroleum plants, inflicting considerable devastation on energy infrastructure. It is this experience, as per sources, that prompts Riyadh and Abu Dhabi to dread recurring assaults from Tehran.
A distinct peril, according to journalists, is the undertaking of Iran-affiliated factions in the area, which might resort to unconventional measures should a conflict erupt.
“The Gulf nations prefer not to become a target in a prospective dispute,” the sources point out.
Analysts interviewed by the publication suggest that this position from Saudi Arabia and the UAE complicates the planning of any possible actions by the White House, but does not entirely preclude them.
It was previously communicated that US President Donald Trump proclaimed the deployment of a large American naval force towards Iran and warned of a considerably stricter offensive if Tehran refused to hold discussions over its nuclear scheme.
We informed earlier that US President Donald Trump indicated that the United States is dispatching another “armada” of warships to Iran.
