As Ukraine struggles to hold back Russian advances, the country\u2019s officials say they are once again facing the formidable challenge of keeping electricity flowing as Moscow\u2019s forces increasingly strike power plants.<\/p>\n

To conserve energy, the government has ordered nationwide rolling blackouts for Monday night, broadening the smaller regional ones that have become the norm in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is another frontline in the war,\u201d said Maxim Timchenko<\/a>, the head of DTEK, Ukraine\u2019s largest private electricity company, on social media last week. He said the company\u2019s workers were engaged in a \u201crace against time\u201d to restore power to consumers.<\/p>\n

The nationwide blackout, scheduled from 6 p.m. to midnight, will affect the entire country for the first time this year, but it is unclear if it will continue past Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
