**Russia Strikes Ukraine's Power Grid Amid Concerns Over U.S. Missiles** Russia launched attacks on Ukraine’s power grid overnight into Sunday, continuing its campaign to damage the country’s energy infrastructure ahead of winter. This escalation comes as Moscow voiced significant concern regarding the potential provision of Tomahawk cruise missiles from the United States to Ukraine. Kyiv regional Governor Mykola Kalashnyk reported that two employees of DTEK, Ukraine’s largest private energy company, were injured in the strikes on a substation. The Ukrainian Energy Ministry confirmed that energy infrastructure was also targeted in Donetsk, Odesa, and Chernihiv regions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attacks, stating on X, "Russia continues its aerial terror against our cities and communities, intensifying strikes on our energy infrastructure." He noted that over the past week, Russia had launched more than 3,100 drones, 92 missiles, and approximately 1,360 glide bombs against Ukraine. Zelenskyy also urged for stricter secondary sanctions on those purchasing Russian oil, emphasizing that "sanctions, tariffs, and joint actions against the buyers of Russian oil — those who finance this war — must all remain on the table." On Saturday, Zelenskyy described a "very positive and productive" phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump, where they discussed the ongoing Russian attacks and ways to enhance Ukraine’s air defense capabilities. The conversation followed earlier discussions about the potential supply of long-range precision strike weapons, including Tomahawks and ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles. Trump indicated he has made a decision regarding the potential shipment of Tomahawks to Ukraine but did not provide further details. A senior Ukrainian delegation is expected to visit the U.S. this week to continue discussions. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov expressed that the topic of Tomahawk missiles is of "extreme concern," stating, "Now is really a very dramatic moment in terms of the fact that tensions are escalating from all sides." Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, expressed skepticism about the U.S. providing Tomahawks to Ukraine. He remarked, "I think we need to calm down in this regard. Our friend Donald … sometimes he takes a more forceful approach, and then, his tactic is to let go a little and step back. Therefore, we shouldn’t take this literally, as if it’s going to fly tomorrow." The energy sector in Ukraine has been a focal point of conflict since Russia's full-scale invasion began over three years ago. The recent attacks followed a series of drone and missile strikes on Friday that injured at least 20 people in Kyiv, damaged residential buildings, and caused widespread blackouts. Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko described these strikes as "one of the largest concentrated strikes" against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Historically, Russia has attempted to undermine Ukraine’s power grid before the harsh winter months, likely aiming to diminish public morale. Winter in Ukraine typically lasts from late October through March, with January and February being the coldest months. On Saturday, Ukraine’s air force reported that its defenses intercepted or jammed 103 of 118 Russian drones launched overnight, while Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed to have shot down 32 Ukrainian drones over its territory.
