Russian ballistic missiles struck a key power plant in Kyiv for a second consecutive day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said, adding that the strikes came with no early warning from Ukraine's Western partners. The attacks on critical infrastructure come amid an intensifying Russian campaign against Ukraine's energy grid ahead of winter. The strikes underscore the fragility of efforts toward a negotiated end to the war and raise concerns about civilian hardship as temperatures drop. Zelensky's comments also point to friction with allies over early-warning and air-defense cooperation.
