Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged "maximum pressure" on Russia from the international community after Moscow fired hundreds of drones and missiles into Ukraine overnight into Tuesday morning,

Russia disregarded ‌ongoing U.S. peace ​efforts by attacking Ukraine's ‍energy sector overnight ​on ​Tuesday, ⁠President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said. Zelenskiy said that Kyiv would reach out to ‌U.S. officials to discuss ​the consequences ‌for Russia ‍following the ⁠attack.

A week-long pause in strikes on Ukraine amid peace talks came to an abrupt end after Russian forces unleashed a massive drone and missile assault.

The attack - which reportedly consisted of more than 70 missiles and 450 drones - comes after a so-called "energy truce" expired at the weekend.

Russia launched its biggest missile and drone attack on Ukraine so far this year on Tuesday, according to Ukrainian authorities, cutting heat to tens of thousands of people and ending a brief reprieve agreed to by Moscow and Washington as Ukrainians grapple with plummeting winter temperatures.

Missiles overnight targeted electrical facilities in Kyiv and other parts of the country, according to local authorities, despite President Trump’s request for a pause.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy accused Russia on Tuesday of exploiting a U.S.-backed energy truce to stockpile munitions, and using them to attack Ukraine with hundreds of drones and a record number of ballistic missiles a day before peace talks.

It’s true, President Donald Trump has a lot on his plate these days, what with Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba, but still, he seems oddly disconnected from the latest developments in Russia’s war on Ukraine,
