Zelenskyy says Ukraine got no early warning from partners as Russia hits the power grid again

The overnight barrage hit 28 energy facilities and left more than 550,000 households without power, Zelenskyy said.

  • On Monday, Russian forces launched 16 ballistic missiles and 269 Shahed drones at Ukraine's energy infrastructure, killing one person and cutting power to 550,000 households, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv received no early warning from partner countries.
  • Western intelligence sharing has historically helped Ukraine counter Russia's devastating ballistic missiles and hold back Moscow's invasion, which began more than four years ago, but recent strikes have occurred without similar advance notice.
  • The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed the "massive strikes" on Monday, saying it targeted drone and missile hubs, data centers, and logistics facilities across multiple locations inside Ukraine.
  • U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied pausing intelligence sharing during a Monday visit to Uzbekistan, stating "There's been no pause" and disputing Zelenskyy's claims about the lack of warning.
  • Zelenskyy stated Monday that Ukraine has welcomed every ceasefire attempt from partners and blamed the war's continuation solely on Russian strikes, as diplomatic efforts to secure peace remain stalled.
