Russia launched its 12th major attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure this year, firing 93 missiles and deploying over 200 drones. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that 81 missiles were intercepted. Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, and Ternopil regions suffered severe energy facility damage, with rolling blackouts imposed nationwide. Ukrenergo has begun importing electricity from neighboring countries to address shortages. Moscow stated the strikes were retaliation for Ukraine's US-made missile attack on a Russian airbase. Amid escalating tensions, Donald Trump, in an interview, criticized US support for Ukraine’s strikes. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov noted Trump’s remarks aligned with Moscow's stance, impressing Russian officials.
