Russia Strikes Kyiv Power Plant as Zelenskyy Says Allies Gave No Missile Warning
Russian ballistic missiles struck Kyiv, hitting a thermal power plant and a nine-story residential building, killing at least two people and injuring more than 20, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine received no advance intelligence from partners about the incoming missiles for two consecutive nights, while US President Donald Trump denied the claim, saying Washington shares intelligence with Kyiv. The strikes deepened Ukraine's Patriot ammunition shortage and renewed political friction between Zelenskyy and Klitschko over Kyiv's winter preparations.

The reports center on whether Western partners shared timely intelligence before the attacks, with Zelenskyy's account directly contradicting any suggestion that warnings were provided.
