Russian strikes across Ukraine plunge country into darkness

TL;DR

The blast, which Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy decried as “a very significant escalation,” prompted Biden to call an emergency meeting of G-7 and NATO leaders.Biden, who was awakened overnight by staff with the news of the missile while attending the summit, called Polish President Andrzej Duda to express his condolences.The missile strikes plunged much of Ukraine into darkness and drew defiance from Zelenskyy, who shook his fist and declared: “We will survive everything.” In his nightly address, the Ukrainian leader said the strike in Poland offered proof that “terror is not limited by our state borders.” “We need to put the terrorist in its place.The longer Russia feels impunity, the more threats there will be for everyone within the reach of Russian missiles,” Zelenskyy said.The minister, Herman Haluschenko, accused Russia of “trying to cause maximum damage to our energy system on the eve of winter.” The assault killed at least one person in a residential building in the capital, Kyiv."
