Ukraine's chief negotiator plans separate European meetings in Abu Dhabi

Russia's strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure have cut power to 12 regions, with the most severe damage in Dnipropetrovsk and Kyiv areas, Ukraine's deputy energy minister said Monday. Nearly one million Ukrainians lost electricity overnight Sunday, including over 600,000 in Dnipropetrovsk and 250,000 in Kharkiv. Russia conducted 128 deliberate strikes on energy, oil, and gas facilities last week, causing 219 damage or destruction cases. President Zelenskyy reported widespread blackouts and heating outages, including 140 residential buildings in Zhytomyr, as nighttime temperatures approach freezing with winter approaching.
