Two people were killed and dozens injured in overnight Russian drone attacks across Ukraine, as strikes on energy infrastructure left many regions without power amid freezing temperatures, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
The attacks targeted Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhia, Khmelnytskyi, and Odesa, involving more than 200 drones, Zelenskyy said in a post on X.
“The situation in the energy system remains difficult, but we are doing everything we can to restore all services as quickly as possible,” he added.
Zelenskyy also called for urgent international support. “Ukraine still needs more protection, above all, more missiles for air defense systems,” he said.
“If Russia is deliberately dragging out the diplomatic process, the world’s response must be decisive: more assistance for Ukraine and more pressure on the aggressor,” Zelenskyy added.
The strikes came a day after Ukrainian negotiators arrived in the United States to discuss a 20-point peace proposal with the Trump administration, focusing on security guarantees and post-war recovery. Russia has yet to comment on the plan.
Ukraine is facing an acute energy crisis, with the damaged power grid providing only 60% of the country’s electricity needs. Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhia have been particularly hard hit, leaving families struggling to stay warm in freezing temperatures.
In Russian-occupied Zaporizhia, more than 200,000 consumers were left without electricity after a Ukrainian drone strike on Saturday, Governor Yevgeny Balitsky said. Nearly 400 settlements remain without power, with crews working to restore supply.
Zelenskyy noted that over the past week alone, Ukraine has faced more than 1,300 attack drones, roughly 1,050 guided aerial bombs, and 29 missiles of various types, underlining the ongoing intensity of Russia’s campaign.
