The strikes deepen pressure on Ukraine’s civilian energy system and come amid growing tension between Kyiv and Washington over weapons and intelligence support. Zelenskyy said U.S. decisions affecting the war were difficult to explain, while reports indicated that Moscow had proposed a summit involving Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, potentially including China’s Xi Jinping, to discuss arms control and the Ukraine conflict. The combination of intensified Russian attacks and uncertainty over Western backing makes the situation a significant immediate security and humanitarian concern.
