An overnight Russian attack that rocked the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk and left hundreds of customers in the Poltava region without power shows that Russian President Vladimir Putin does not want peace, regional Ukrainian officials said.
During a summit at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump told President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday that the United States would help guarantee Ukraine's security in any deal to end Russia's war there.
After the meeting, Trump called the Russian leader and began arranging a meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy.
"At the very same time when Putin was assuring Trump over the phone that he seeks peace, and when President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was holding talks at the White House with European leaders about a just peace, Putin's army launched yet another massive attack on Kremenchuk," Vitalii Maletskyi, mayor of the city that lies in the Poltava region, said on the Telegram messaging app.
Maletskyi added that tens of blasts shook the city.
"Once again, the world has seen that Putin does not want peace — he wants to destroy Ukraine."
The scale of the attack was not clear. Ukraine's Air Force said overnight that the central Ukrainian region was under the threat of a cruise missile attack.
Poltava Governor Volodymyr Kohut said that the attack damaged administrative buildings of a local power infrastructure operation.
"Fortunately, there were no casualties," Kohut said on Telegram.
He said that in the Lubny district nearly 1,500 residential and 119 commercial customers were left without power.
