Russia launched overnight attacks across 10 Ukrainian regions, targeting five major energy substations that transmit electricity between areas, according to the Ukrainian prime minister, Sergii Koretskyi. The substations were located in the Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Vinnytsia, and Kirovohrad regions.
These attacks resulted in at least nine fatalities and 39 injuries across Ukraine in the past day, as reported by the Kyiv Independent. The strikes occurred shortly before trilateral talks were scheduled to begin in Abu Dhabi.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian president, had previously accused Russia of escalating strikes to exert pressure on Kyiv during these discussions. He has also urged the United States to increase its aid to Ukraine.
