Zelenskyy says Ukraine got no early warning from partners as Russia hits power grid again

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine reported on Monday that Russia has launched fresh assaults on the nation's energy infrastructure, employing ballistic missiles and jet-powered drones. Zelenskyy lamented that Ukraine received no advance warning of the attack from allied nations who had previously shared their intelligence.

The Ukrainian leader is currently navigating recent decisions by the United States that are advantageous to Russian President Vladimir Putin, such as the waiver of U.S. sanctions on Moscow and a pact to import diesel from Moscow. In addition to these developments, Russian and Ukrainian officials were reportedly discussing the potential evacuation of the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky in the southern Kherson region, home to approximately 2,000 residents who have been isolated for months without access to food and medical supplies, according to a Ukrainian human rights official.

Zelenskyy also mentioned that vital U.S. supplies are experiencing delays, as speed restrictions remain in place on Ukraine's utilization of the military-grade version of SpaceX's satellite internet service. Although full service was restored the previous week, Zelenskyy stated on Monday that these restrictions are still impeding Ukraine's operations.
