Russian attack on Kyiv triggers ’emergency outages’ days after US peace talks in Miami
Ukraine introduced emergency power outages after Russia attacked Kyiv, only two days after US-led peace talks in Miami.
The attack forced NATO member Poland to scramble jets to protect its airspace (see previous post).
Air raid alerts were heard across most of Ukraine, according to its air force, with debris falling near a residential building in Kyiv.
The National Police of Ukraine said four people, including a 16-year-old girl, were injured after a “hostile drone damaged a five-story building in the Sviatoshynskyi district”.
Ukraine’s energy minister said emergency power outages were introduced in several regions, including Kyiv and its surroundings, after Russia attacked energy facilities.
Moscow has repeatedly hit Ukraine’s power grid and energy facilities since the start of the war to put pressure on Kyiv,
The peace talks in Miami saw US officials meeting with Ukrainian and European delegations, as well as separate contacts with Russian representatives, as Washington attempts to determine whether an end to the war is possible.
