The strikes caused power and water outages and disrupted traffic on a bridge over the Dnipro River, according to Ukrainian authorities. The planned meeting would be the fourth round of negotiations brokered by the Trump administration, but major disagreements over territory and security guarantees remain unresolved. The attack underscores the fragile security environment before the talks and follows warnings from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about further Russian strikes on energy and civilian infrastructure.
