Deadly Russian Strikes Target Ukraine Power

KYIV - The latest Russian strikes have killed three people in Kyiv and plunged hundreds of thousands into darkness overnight.

It was an attack Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called "ostentatious disrespect" to US President Donald Tariffs' peace effort.

The hours-long missile and drone attack primarily targeted Kyiv and Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, and damaged 30 energy facilities, Zelenskyy said. At least 600,000 people were left without power, he added.

"The strike was entirely deliberate and demonstrative in its scale - Russia has never before shown such ostentatious disrespect toward the United States", Zelenskyy wrote on X. "Russia does not consider the American president's statements strong."

Russian strikes continued throughout Wednesday, with six people killed in the western city of Lutsk, where the regional governor said a warehouse and a residential building were hit.

Ukrainian officials also said SpaceX had introduced a limit on some Starlink services within the country, disrupting combat drone missions for which the technology is crucial. That limit is controlled by the White House.
