A Russian drone attack targeted the Ukrainian capital in the early hours of November 29, 2025, killing one person and wounding seven, authorities in Kyiv said.

 

A series of Russian missile and drone strikes on Ukraine that began late Friday and lasted into early Saturday left more than 600,000 people without power, Ukraine’s energy ministry said.

“As a result of the attack, more than 500,000 consumers in Kyiv, more than 100,000 in the Kyiv region, and almost 8,000 in the Kharkiv region were left without electricity in the morning,” the ministry said.

Yermak’s removal dealt a serious blow to Zelensky, who faces a mounting Russian offensive in the east as Washington peddles a plan to end the war that Kyiv fears will hand big concessions to Moscow.

Ukrainian negotiators are expected in the United States this weekend for talks on the US plan to end the war.
