Russia Pummels Ukraine's Power Grid Before Talks

Russia's pre-talk strikes on Ukraine's power grid have caused significant damage and are seen as provocative moves ahead of international negotiations.

Russia Pummels Ukraine's Power Grid Before Talks

Russia has launched a series of attacks on Ukraine's power grid, just hours before international talks aimed at resolving the conflict were set to begin in Geneva. The strikes targeted 12 regions, causing significant damage and disrupting energy supplies across the country.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy strongly condemned the attacks, emphasizing their timing as particularly provocative. The U.S.-backed trilateral talks involve representatives from Kyiv and Moscow, with the hope of finding a peaceful resolution to the ongoing tensions.

The latest escalation has raised concerns about the stability of the region and the effectiveness of diplomatic efforts in addressing the crisis.
