'Ukraine is running out of men, money and time' Five people, including three young children, have been killed in the latest overnight Russian attacks on Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said, as United States-led efforts to end the nearly war continue to progress at a slow, bogged-down pace.

'Ukraine is running out of men, money and time' Ukraine braced for more attacks on its energy infrastructure this week as winter temperatures continued to fall to -20 degrees Celsius (-4 degrees Fahrenheit), and sought to adapt its defences against Russian drones. On Thursday, Ukraine's energy minister, Denys Shmyal, warned Ukrainians to prepare for more power blackouts in the coming days as Russian air attacks continued.

Russia attacked Ukrainian energy infrastructure with a record number of ballistic missiles, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday.

Russia has launched its most powerful blow against Ukraine's energy sector so far this year, according to the private energy company, DTEK. The combined missile and drone strikes which targeted power plants and infrastructure in Kyiv and multiple locations left the system operating with serious restrictions, it said. The strikes were launched as temperatures dropped to -20C (-4F) and left more than 1,000 tower blocks in the capital without heating once again and damaged a power plant in the eastern city of Kharkiv beyond repair. President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia was choosing terror and escalation rather than diplomacy to end this war and called for maximum pressure on Moscow from Ukraine's allies. The attack comes after a so-called energy truce agreed by Donald Trump with Vladimir Putin expired at the weekend.

Zelenskyy warns of'logistics terror' as Russia hits Ukraine railway President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he has ordered Ukraine's military leaders to respond after a spate of Russian attacks targeting railway infrastructure and logistics routes. His comments on Monday come after Russian forces stepped up attacks, including on a train last week that killed five people in a railway car in the eastern region of Kharkiv. Russian forces have prioritised the capture of train hubs, such as Kupiansk and Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine. "The Russian army remains focused on terror against our logistics - primarily railway infrastructure," Zelenskyy said in a post on social media. "In particular there were strikes in the Dnipro region and in Zaporizhzhia, specifically targeting railway facilities."
