Russia delivers worst attack this year to Ukraine's power sector as the energy ceasefire expired

Описание: Russia launched overnight strikes on Ukrainian military-industrial complex enterprises, energy facilities, as well as storage and assembly sites for long-range drones, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Tuesday.

In response to Ukraine's attacks on civilian facilities on Russian territory, the Russian Armed Forces launched a massive strike overnight using long-range, high-precision air- and ground-based weaponry, as well as strike drones.

The combined missile and drone strikes hit power plants and infrastructure in Kyiv and multiple locations causing "the most powerful blow" so far this year.

The attack comes after a so-called "energy truce" agreed by Donald Trump with Vladimir Putin expired at the weekend.

US President Donald Trump urges Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the nearly four-year Ukraine crisis.

It also came on the day Nato Secretary-General Mark Rutte was in Kyiv to meet President Zelensky and to address the national parliament.

The strikes were launched as temperatures dropped to -20C (-4F) and left more than 1,000 tower blocks in the capital without heating once again and damaged a power plant in the eastern city of Kharkiv beyond repair.
