Several regions of Ukraine have endured a night of Russian drone and missile attacks targeting energy infrastructure that left more than a million households without power, according to the interior ministry.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia had used more than 450 drones and 30 missiles and that more than a dozen civilian facilities around the country had been damaged overnight Friday into Saturday.
“It is important that everyone now sees what Russia is doing – every step they take in terror against our people, all their attacks, for this is clearly not about ending the war,” Zelensky added.
The strikes also injured several civilians and left many areas without water supplies, regional authorities said.Interior minister Ihor Klymenko said the strikes had delivered “painful blows to Ukraine’s energy sector,” with the Odesa and Mykolaiv regions particularly impacted.
The attacks come as US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff prepares to meet Zelensky and European officials in Berlin for talks on advancing the US plan for a peace settlement in the nearly four-year-old war.
Russia has focused on crippling Ukraine’s energy infrastructure as winter sets in and has been able to strike more targets in recent months by firing a mix of several hundred drones and missiles simultaneously.
In Odesa, “the targets were port and energy facilities. The enemy struck the Odesa seaport, causing a fire in the grain storage facilities,” said Oleksiy Kuleba, Ukraine’s deputy prime minister and minister of community and territorial development.
