On Sunday, Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian-controlled regions in southern Ukraine, resulting in hundreds of thousands of people losing power.

Ukrainian officials describe the strike as an attempt to “weaponize winter,” similar to how Russian forces have targeted Ukraine’s power grid. Ukraine reports that Russian attacks of a similar nature continued overnight, claiming two lives.

According to the local governor installed by the Kremlin, over 200,000 households in the Russian-occupied portion of Ukraine’s southern Zaporizhzhia region were without electricity on Sunday.

In a Telegram post, the Ukrainian President stated that fixing the country’s energy infrastructure remains difficult, “but we are taking all steps to restore everything as swiftly as we can.”

He noted that two individuals died in overnight attacks across the country that targeted Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Khmelnytskyi, and Odesa.

Ukraine reports that Russia used over 1,300 attack drones, 1,050 guided aerial bombs, and 29 missiles of different types to strike the country this week.

At the same time, talks between the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia are ongoing in an attempt to reach a peace agreement. Zelenskyy has repeatedly claimed that Russia is not dedicated to the peace process.

“If Russia intentionally slows down the diplomatic process, the world’s reaction must be firm: increased support for Ukraine and greater pressure on the aggressor,” Zelenskyy stated on Sunday.

Last week, however, the President argued that it is Ukraine, not Russia, that is delaying a potential peace deal.

“I believe he’s prepared to strike a deal,” Trump told Reuters regarding Putin. “I think Ukraine is less prepared to do so.”

When asked why U.S. involvement had not ended the war, Trump replied: “Zelenskyy,” as reported by Reuters.

Trump declined to elaborate on why he thinks Zelenskyy is holding back, stating that he believes the Ukrainian president is “having a hard time getting there”—a reference to a peace agreement. However, later in the interview, Trump said he would be open to meeting Zelenskyy at the upcoming World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
