The attacks hit power plants and substations from Odesa to Rivne, leaving Kyiv facing what its mayor called an extremely difficult situation. Ukrainian officials warned that the damage could pose risks to nuclear safety across Europe. The assault comes roughly a week before U.S.-brokered peace talks are scheduled to resume in Abu Dhabi, raising fears of further escalation before negotiations begin.[3]
