  1. Russian missile strikes damage Kyiv power grid, wound civilians ahead of Abu Dhabi talks

    Overnight Russian missile strikes hit Kyiv and surrounding areas, damaging energy infrastructure and causing blackouts and water shortages across the capital. Ukrainian officials say four of 36 incoming missiles were intercepted, while Russia claims it struck intended military targets. At least five people were injured in Kyiv, with some reports citing up to nine wounded nationwide. The attacks come days before Ukrainian and Russian delegations are scheduled to meet in Abu Dhabi for trilateral talks with the United States. President Zelenskyy accused Moscow of escalating strikes to gain leverage before negotiations, and alleged the use of North Korean-supplied weapons.

    Why it matters

    Russia has intensified attacks on Ukraine's energy grid since 2022, aiming to degrade civilian resilience and military-industrial capacity ahead of winter. The latest barrage coincides with diplomatic preparations for rare direct talks in Abu Dhabi, where both sides are expected to discuss energy infrastructure safety and possible ceasefire terms. Zelenskyy's public dispute with Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko over civil defense readiness highlights domestic pressure to protect critical infrastructure. Meanwhile, allegations of North Korean missile transfers, if verified, would mark a significant expansion of external military support for Russia.
