Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemns Russia after overnight strikes on Ukraine kill at least five people and injure dozens ahead of a planned pause in fighting. Multiple outlets report that Ukrainian authorities say Russian drones and missiles target Ukraine’s power grid, with at least five deaths and 39 wounded. Zelensky describes the attacks as “utter cynicism” and argues Russia could stop firing at any moment. The reporting also places the strikes in the context of timing between truce steps: Kyiv says it will enact a ceasefire shortly, while Moscow has promised its own truce days later. The outlets characterize the renewed violence as occurring less than a day before Kyiv’s announced ceasefire and as part of a wider period of pledged but not yet synchronized pauses. No outlet in the provided materials offers additional details on the specific sites hit or on whether the planned truce proceeds as scheduled. The accounts focus on the casualty toll, the reported targeting of electrical infrastructure, and Zelensky’s criticism of Russia’s actions before the truce window begins.
