"At least three people, including a child, killed in missile and drone barrage across Ukraine, officials say. Russia has hit regions across Ukraine with missiles and drones, killing at least three people and triggering emergency power outages as United States-led talks to end the nearly four-year conflict dragged on. In a social media post, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a four-year-old in the Zhytomyr region was among those killed during the Russian attacks that took place in the midst of negotiations aimed at ending this war."
"This Russian strike sends an extremely clear signal about Russia's priorities, he said, urging Ukraine's Western partners to increase pressure on Moscow. A woman in the Kyiv region and another person in the Khmelnytskyi region were also killed, Zelenskyy added. There was no immediate comment by Russia, which denies targeting civilians since it invaded Ukraine in February 2022."
"Ukraine's power operator Ukrenergo said on Tuesday that the massive missile and drone attack had caused fires in several regions, leading it to impose emergency power outages across the country, where winter temperatures are currently dipping towards freezing.

Russia launched a massive missile and drone attack across multiple regions of Ukraine, killing at least three people, including a four-year-old in Zhytomyr, a woman in the Kyiv region, and another person in Khmelnytskyi. The strikes caused fires and forced Ukraine's power operator, Ukrenergo, to impose emergency power outages as winter temperatures near freezing. Dozens of missiles and more than 600 drones were reported, and energy infrastructure in western regions sustained the most damage. Air raid alerts covered nearly all of Ukraine, debris damaged windows in Kyiv's Sviatoshynskyi district, and a cargo vessel in Odesa was set ablaze.
