Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy grid kill six, cut power to 600,000

Russia launched a massive strike on Ukrainian energy infrastructure days after US President Donald Trump announced an "energy ceasefire" between the two countries.

• The Russian defense ministry said overnight strikes targeted communications and energy facilities in the Kyiv and Kharkiv regions.
• President Zelensky said more than 600,000 people were without power and that Ukraine received no advance missile warning from its partners.
• Ukraine's state emergency service reported at least six dead, with two killed in a strike on a residential building in Kyiv.
• Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Ukraine does not deserve the "respite" a ceasefire would bring.
• At least 21 people were also injured in the strikes, which hit an energy facility and a residential building on the outskirts of Kyiv.
• Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the residential building attack killed one person and injured six, igniting fires from the ground to the eighth floor.
• A senior Ukrainian official accused the United States of aiding Russia in the war, citing Washington's slowdown of the Starlink network.
• President Zelensky said the Trump administration threatened to halt intelligence sharing if Ukraine continued targeting Russian oil refineries.
• Zelensky said the US threat to halt intelligence sharing was relayed to Kyiv through military channels.
• Zelensky said Ukraine will keep striking Russian energy targets until Moscow stops attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
• Zelensky said he learned of Trump's 'energy ceasefire' proposal only through social media.
• The Russian missile strikes on Kyiv killed at least nine people across two consecutive nights, surpassing the earlier death toll.
