Russian Missiles Hit Kyiv Power Plant; Allies Failed to Warn, Zelensky Says

· Security · Ukraine · Russia

Russian forces struck Kyiv with ballistic missiles on Tuesday, killing two people in a high-rise apartment and hitting a thermal power plant in the second attack in 24 hours. President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv received no early warning from partners about the "particularly vile" strikes. He will meet UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham in London on Wednesday, with Britain promising a new package of surface-to-air missiles. Zelensky also proposed new talks with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, and Trump said the US still shares intelligence with Ukraine.

Why it matters：The strikes and warning failures test Western support for Ukraine as diplomacy with Washington continues.

Key points

  • Two people were killed in a Kyiv high-rise; a thermal power plant was hit.
  • Zelensky said allies gave no early warning.
  • He will meet UK PM Burnham, who promised new air-defense missiles.
