Ten regions of Ukraine were hit by emergency power outages Friday, a day after a Russian barrage, the state power grid operator said. Ukrenergo said the latest of the missile and drone attacks that have battered energy facilities across the country for months knocked out electricity around the capital, the city of Kharkiv in the northeast and the western city of Lviv, near the Polish border.

Inside Ukraine’s POW detention center: Post reporters recently visited a detention center where Ukraine holds prisoners of war from Russia and from separatist regions of eastern Ukraine.
Eleven months into the conflict, “prisoner-of-war exchanges have become a rare intersection of mutual interest for the two countries and typically occur multiple times per month,” write Kamila Hrabchuk and Heidi Levine. The center’s staff said new prisoners arrive every week just as others leave to be exchanged.
