Russia targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in a large-scale missile and drone bombardment during the night, officials said on Friday, hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said talks with the US on ending the 3-year war will take place next week. At least 10 people, including a child, were injured, authorities said.
“Russia is trying to hurt ordinary Ukrainians by striking energy and gas production facilities, without abandoning its goal of leaving us without light and heat, and causing the greatest harm to ordinary citizens,” Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko said.
