The attack struck two shopping centres and critical energy facilities, with reported damage in regions including Vinnytsia and Odesa. The assault comes amid worsening Kyiv-Washington relations after U.S. President Donald Trump delayed sanctions targeting Russian oil, a decision Ukraine criticized. The scale of the barrage and disruption to Ukraine’s power system make it the most consequential developing international story in the available coverage.
