Russian strikes targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure across four regions, leaving hundreds of thousands without power overnight Saturday into Sunday. One strike in the Vinnytsia region killed two people, including a 13-year-old girl, according to Ukraine's State Emergency Service.

Simultaneously, Ukraine reported hitting a major missile fuel producer in Russia's Rostov region, causing a fire and damaging four production facilities. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the intensity of Russian strikes has been "extremely high" recently, suggesting Russia is attempting to exploit a shortage of ballistic missile interceptors.

Zelensky emphasized Ukraine's daily communication with the U.S., Europe, and other partners regarding the urgent need for Patriot missiles, which he described as the only effective weapon against Russia's ballistic missiles. He acknowledged ongoing support but called for more immediate aid.

In the Kherson region, a localized humanitarian ceasefire that began last Tuesday is scheduled to end Sunday night at 22:59 Ukrainian time (21:00 GMT). This pause in hostilities, brokered with assistance from figures including U.S. First Lady Melania Trump and Pope Leo XIV, initially focused on the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky.

Oleshky, occupied by Russia since the early days of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, had been largely cut off, situated between the Dnipro River and Russian forces. Residents faced shortages of food, water, and electricity, with escape routes reportedly mined and subject to drone attacks. The ceasefire was later expanded to cover the wider Kherson region.

Despite the localized truce, fighting has continued elsewhere in Ukraine. Repair efforts to restore power were underway throughout Sunday. While most customers in the Dnipropetrovsk region had power restored by early evening, over 60,000 remained without electricity. Emergency power outages have become a national measure due to persistent attacks on energy infrastructure, impacting most of Kyiv with daily electricity and water supply disruptions.
