Ukraine Reports No Early Warning of Russian Strikes Amid Missile Delivery Delays and Diplomatic Talks
Ukraine faced a broad Russian missile and drone attack that damaged energy infrastructure and caused power outages affecting over 500,000 households, with at least 10 casualties reported. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated Ukraine received no early warning from US or allied partners before the strikes and accused the US of delaying delivery of Patriot missile interceptors already paid for by European countries. US officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, denied deliberate withholding of aid or intelligence. Meanwhile, tensions persist between Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump, who suggested Ukraine consider new negotiators and defended engagement with Russia. Zelenskyy met US envoys in Norway to discuss military support and peace efforts amid ongoing conflict.
