Heavy Russian strikes on Ukraine killed at least six people and cut power in Kyiv, with a block of flats destroyed and a ballistic missile hitting energy infrastructure. BBC Ukraine correspondent Dan Johnson reported from Kyiv, where at least three people were killed in overnight strikes. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the attack showed 'ostentatious disrespect' to Donald Trump, referring to a supposed energy ceasefire. The strikes came as Ukraine accused the US of failing to warn it of incoming missiles.
