Russia launched a major drone and missile attack on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, on Saturday. The assault killed one woman and left hundreds of thousands of people without electricity.
The strike comes just before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to hold new talks with former U.S. leader Donald Trump. Zelensky stated the attack proves Russia "does not want to end the war."
Analysts suggest the timing highlights Moscow's pattern of intensifying attacks around key diplomatic moments. The bombardment caused significant damage to the city's energy infrastructure, known as the power grid. Emergency crews are working to restore supply.
