Russian strikes hit Kyiv and other areas of Ukraine, with reports of people killed and about 600,000 left without power. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine received no early warning from partners about a Russian ballistic missile attack, for a second night in a row. Left-leaning outlets tied this to reports that the Trump administration may have withheld intelligence, while President Trump said information continued to flow. Other outlets reported Zelensky's comments without attributing blame, and the reported death toll differed between sources (six versus at least three).
