AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Ukraine depends on Western intelligence for early detection of Russian attacks and targeting its own defenses. Recent strains in U.S.-Ukraine relations under President Donald Trump have raised concerns about the reliability of this intelligence-sharing arrangement.

Font size

Heavy overnight Russian strikes killed at least six people in Ukraine and cut power to large parts of the capital Kyiv, authorities said on Wednesday.

The attacks on multiple regions came after President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine had received no advance warning from Western allies before a Russian strike on a Kyiv power plant.

Ukraine relies heavily on Western intelligence to detect incoming Russian attacks and help identify targets of its own, but renewed signs of strain with US President Donald Trump have cast doubt on those arrangements.

In Kyiv, a Russian strike on a multi-storey building in Desnianskyi district killed two people, while another attack in Golosiivsky killed one, Ukraine’s state emergency service said.
