Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia launched ballistic missiles and drones to attack Ukraine's energy infrastructure again. He noted Monday that Kyiv received no early warning from partner countries. The attacks damaged over 10 energy facilities, leaving more than half a million people without power, heat and running water. A 21-year-old woman was killed in Kyiv. Zelenskyy is also dealing with U.S. policy changes from President Donald Trump that benefit Russia, including waiving sanctions on Moscow. Meanwhile, limits on Ukraine’s use of SpaceX’s Starlink system have affected drone operations. Western intelligence has been crucial for Ukraine, but fears are growing that such support may wane.
