Russia attacks the energy supply in Ukraine. Rockets hit power plants in Kiew and Charkiw. Many cities have no power. Water fails often. Experts say that Russia wants to make life in cities hard. Ukraine shall give up.
Ukraine fights back against these attacks. Ukrainian drones hit a factory in west Siberia. The city Surgut is far away. A gas plant burns there. German politicians talk about this. Friedrich Merz says that attacks on Russian energy sites are right.
Donald Trump wants a truce for energy sites. Russia does not stop attacks. Wolodymyr Selenskyj criticizes deals between Trump and Putin. He says that Ukraine must defend itself. Else, sanctions lose power. People in Kiew plan protests because of cold and power cuts.
