Volodymyr Zelenskiy to attend G7 summit and sign security pact with US leader Joe Biden
Russia has intensified missile and drone strikes on Ukraine’s power infrastructure in recent months, destroying half the country’s electricity-generating capacity and fuelling fears of long blackouts in the months ahead and throughout winter.
Kyiv’s military said it hit Russian air defences in occupied Crimea for the second time this week, and claimed to have destroyed the radar units of one S-400 and one S-300 missile battery. Moscow did not confirm the attacks. Mr Zelenskiy is expected to attend a meeting of G7 leaders in Italy on Thursday and Friday before a “peace summit” hosted by Switzerland, at which he hopes to secure support from dozens of states for a peace plan that would then be presented at a follow-up summit to Russia – which is not invited to the weekend gathering near Lake Lucerne.
