Ukraine got no intelligence warning before Russian strike on power grid, Zelensky says

Ukraine received no early warning from partner countries before Russia launched a new attack on its energy infrastructure Monday, President Volodymyr Zelensky said, as ballistic missiles and drones struck power facilities and left over half a million people without electricity, heat, and water. The attack damaged more than 10 energy facilities, with 16 ballistic missiles fired at Kyiv and its region, killing a 21-year-old woman. Zelensky faces recent U.S. moves benefiting Russia, including waived sanctions and a diesel import deal, while limits on SpaceX's Starshield service and a Patriot system shortage have weakened Ukraine's defenses. Western intelligence sharing has been vital in countering Russian missiles since the invasion began over four years ago. U.S. officials deny halting intelligence, while talks continue on a possible trilateral U.S.-Russia-China meeting on Ukraine without Kyiv's participation, which Ukraine's foreign minister rejected.
