Russia strikes 28 Ukrainian energy sites, leaving 500,000 without power

Russia struck 28 Ukrainian energy facilities with ballistic missiles and drones, leaving over 500,000 people without power, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Monday, adding Kyiv received no early warning from partner countries. Zelensky cited recent US moves benefiting Russia, including waived sanctions and a diesel import deal, while limits on Starlink service and Patriot missile shortages have weakened Ukraine's defenses. A 21-year-old woman was killed in the attack on Kyiv, and air force officials said warnings arrived too late for sirens. US and Russian officials discussed possible trilateral talks involving Trump, Putin, and Xi Jinping without Kyiv, which Ukraine's foreign minister rejected. Lithuania raised security alerts after an arson attempt at a Starlink base station.
