Zelensky Says Ukraine Got No Warning of New Russian Missile Strikes on Power Grid
Photo: The Guardian USUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine received no advance warning before Russia's latest ballistic missile attack on its energy and civilian infrastructure, which came in several waves overnight and hit the power grid again. Zelensky wrote on X that, once again, there was no early warning from partners. He said these were countries that had previously shared intelligence. He also accused the United States of deliberately delaying delivery of weapons paid for by the European Union. The claims come amid a continuing dispute between Kyiv and the Trump administration.
All three sides report Zelensky's complaint about the missing warning and the strikes on energy infrastructure. Left-leaning coverage, represented by The Guardian, names Washington directly. It links the claim to a row with Trump and to concerns that intelligence is being withheld to pressure Kyiv, and it cites a Ukrainian spokesperson. Alternative coverage, represented by France 24, stresses the repeated lack of warning from partners and adds the weapons-delay accusation, with a reporter on the ground. Right-leaning coverage, represented by the New York Post, leads with Zelensky's own words on X and refers only to unnamed partners. The outlets also differ on timing: Sunday evening, Monday or overnight.
How the sides differ Left sources name the US and frame the lack of warning as a row with Trump; right sources cite unnamed partners; alternative sources add delayed weapons.
