Russia Pounds Ukrainian Energy in Diplomatic Snub, Zelenskiy Says
Russia launched 450 drones and over 70 missiles targeting energy infrastructure, causing heating outages for nearly 270,000 in Kharkiv and over 1,000 Kyiv apartments, officials said.
- The day after, Zelenskiy wrote `It was a deliberate attack against energy infrastructure, involving a record number of ballistic missiles`, accusing Russia of exploiting the truce to strike Ukraine.

- Analysts say the timing appears aimed at maximising destruction amid one of the coldest winters in years, aiming to `freeze Ukrainians into submission`, while territory remains the main sticking point with Ukraine resisting ceding 20 per cent of Donetsk.
