Ukraine's military said six or seven missiles and nearly three dozen drones made it past Ukraine's air defenses.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Russia launched one of its biggest air attacks on Ukraine, killing at least 25 people, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pushed U.S. and Turkish leaders for stronger peace efforts.
Key Points:
- Ukraine said Russia fired hundreds of drones and missiles overnight, and many got past air defenses.
- Most of the deaths were in Ternopil, where apartment buildings and energy sites were hit.
- The attacks caused power outages in several regions as winter cold raised fears over heat and safety.
- Zelenskyy met with Turkish leaders and pointed to U.S. efforts, including a visit by Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, as talks on peace were being revived.
Impact on the People

The attacks can push up energy and fuel costs for US households and businesses if the war worsens or peace talks stall.
