Just moments after Donald Trump picked his new peace-maker for the Russia-Ukraine situation Russia struck back with force. The attack (which included almost 200 missiles and drones) hit multiple power stations across western Ukraine
The early-morning assault knocked out electricity for more than 1-million residents; targeting crucial power-grid infrastructure. Local officials confirmed that numerous energy facilities experienced significant damage - leaving many regions without basic utilities
The timing of this large-scale strike raised eyebrows: it happened right after Trumpʼs announcement about his special envoy whoʼs task was to help end the conflict between Moscow and Kyiv. The attack seemed to show Russias real intentions despite any peace-making efforts
The missile barrage focused mainly on western Ukrainian territories; using a mix of high-tech weapons to disable key power stations. Ukrainian military sources reported that their defense systems had to deal with a complex combination of missiles and unmanned aircraft during this well-planned operation
