Russia appears to be gearing up for further strikes on Ukraine's nuclear power system, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Ukrainian leader emphasized that Russia shows no willingness to comply with agreements or end the war, instead intensifying its preparations for another wave of attacks on key energy infrastructure.
This development comes as Ukrainian negotiators have been engaged in talks with US officials, led by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, at a recent meeting in Miami. The goal is to finalize proposals for security guarantees and economic recovery that could potentially lead to the signing of a deal between the US and Ukraine next week.
Meanwhile, Russia's ongoing attacks on Ukraine's energy sector have taken a heavy toll, with more than 20 settlements left without power in the Kyiv region alone. Ukrainian officials are urging the state-owned energy companies to rapidly import electricity and acquire additional equipment from partners to mitigate the impact of these strikes.
Lithuania has pledged to provide further support by supplying additional energy-generating equipment for Ukraine's most affected regions, following an initial shipment of emergency repair materials and solar panels. This move comes as Ukrainian energy workers continue their 24/7 efforts to restore power to communities.
A recent drone strike in the village of Borivske killed a 52-year-old woman, while another attack on Kharkiv city's industrial district left critical infrastructure damaged, potentially affecting power and heating services. The ongoing humanitarian crisis has claimed at least two lives, with others injured across various regions.

I'm getting really worried about what's happening in Ukraine... it feels like Russia is just piling on more and more pressure on the already struggling country 
Ukraine needs our support so badly right now 
I've been following this news for a while, and it's heartbreaking to see the innocent people getting caught in the middle of all this conflict. Like that poor woman who got killed by a drone strike... just devastating 
And with Lithuainia helping out, at least there's some positive news 
But we can't just sit back and wait for others to act, we need to keep the pressure on Russia too 
. Like, what's going on? They're already hitting Ukraine's energy grid left and right, now they're gearing up for more? It's like, can't they just chill for a sec? I mean, I know everyone's all worked up about this war and stuff, but it's getting ridiculous 
. And the US is trying to help out with security guarantees and economic recovery, which is cool and all, but what's taking so long, you know? We should be seeing some progress by now 
.
. I'm worried about the civilians, man. They're already suffering enough without having to deal with power outages and whatnot 
.
. And Lithuania stepping in with some aid is cool, but we need more than that right now 
. We need a real solution to this conflict, not just band-aid fixes 
.
what's going on here? first they're talking about Russia gearing up for more strikes on Ukraine's nukes... like isn't that a big deal already? 
can't they just stop the fighting and talk things out? 
what does it actually mean for people on the ground? 
are we going to see some real change or just more of the same?
electricity is basic, right? 
but what's taking so long to get there? 
can't they just hurry up and fix this mess already? 
. Like, what if they accidentally take out a major city or something? That would be a total disaster 
.
! Like, if they can get a deal done next week that would be amazing 
Are we gonna see some kind of deal that's gonna benefit Russia somehow? I don't trust it. And have you seen all these energy attacks on Ukraine? It's like they're just tryin' to drain their resources and make 'em vulnerable for somethin'. Lithuania's step in is nice, but what if it's just a drop in the bucket? We need to keep an eye on this, 'cause I got a feelin' there's more to it than meets the eye... 
this war is getting out of hand Russia's actions are just so scary what if they really do hit the nuclear power system? that would be a total game changer I don't think Ukraine can handle that kind of stress. And now Lithuania is stepping up to help with more energy equipment but it's still not enough 
️. The human cost is just getting ridiculous though, I feel bad for those families who lost loved ones 
can't wait to see what happens next in these talks... fingers crossed for Ukraine
