Zelenskyy says Kyiv got no early warning as Russia strikes power grid again

Russia attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure with ballistic missiles and drones on Monday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, adding Kyiv received no early warning from partner countries that previously shared such intelligence. The barrage damaged over 10 facilities, leaving more than 500,000 people without power, water, or heating, and killed a 21-year-old woman. Zelenskyy faces mounting challenges from recent U.S. moves, including waived sanctions on Russia, a deal to import Russian diesel, limits on Starlink use that have hampered drone operations, and a shortage of Patriot air defense systems. Washington denies stopping intelligence sharing, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying he had no information about the attack. The strikes follow Ukraine's launch of over 1,000 drones at Russia on Sunday, one of its largest aerial attacks, targeting an oil terminal in St. Petersburg. Zelenskyy reiterated Ukraine's openness to ceasefires, blaming Russia for prolonging the war, while analysts say Putin believes foreign support for Kyiv will unravel.
