KYIV –
Russia unleashed on Thursday its second big attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure this month, triggering deep power cuts across the country.
President Vladimir Putin said Moscow had struck in response to Ukraine’s strikes on Russian territory with U.S. medium-range ATACMS missiles. He said Russia’s future targets could include „decision-making centers“ in Kyiv.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of a „despicable escalation,“ saying it used cruise missiles with cluster munitions.
