RUSSIA hit Ukraine's energy infrastructure with a large-scale missile and drone bombardment during the night, officials said today.

The attack came hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced new peace talks with the United States will take place next week and a day after the US withdrew intelligence support for Kiev.

Ukraine came under a “massive missile and drone” attack, Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko wrote on social media. At least 10 people, including a child, were injured, authorities said.
