The attack comes amid renewed exchanges of strikes between Russia and Ukraine and worsening tensions between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump. Ukrainian officials said partners provided no advance warning, while the damage to energy infrastructure raises concerns about electricity and heating supplies as the conflict continues. The assault is unfolding alongside diplomatic uncertainty over possible negotiations involving Russia, the United States and Ukraine.
