Что происходит в Доброполье, новый удар по энергетике, Зеленский открыто выступил против Трампа.

Summary

Presenter Olesya Medvedeva reviews the day’s developments, focusing on the front, Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, and worsening tensions between Kyiv and Washington.

Fighting near Dobropillya

The report says Russian forces have entered Dobropillya and that their presence there is increasing, but the city is not fully under Russian control. Russian military sources also dispute claims that Russian forces captured Alekseevo-Druzhkovka, describing the situation there as difficult.

Medvedeva suggests that the Kremlin’s claims of capturing towns may be intended to project momentum to Western audiences and increase pressure on Ukraine to withdraw from Donbas.

Strikes and power outages

The program reports large-scale Russian attacks on Kyiv, the Kyiv region, and other parts of Ukraine, with energy and infrastructure among the targets. Ukrainian officials said 16 ballistic missiles were launched at Kyiv and the surrounding region and that none were intercepted.

The report describes deaths and injuries, damage to homes and public infrastructure, and damage to a Kyiv data center, which its operator later confirmed. Ukrainian authorities said strikes damaged 28 substations and other energy facilities, leaving at least half a million households without power. Russia’s Defense Ministry said it had struck several facilities it described as military or logistics targets.

Zelensky also complained that the United States had again failed to warn Ukraine about ballistic launches. Secretary of State Marco Rubio attributed a recent warning failure to a software problem.

Zelensky–Trump dispute

Zelensky accused the Trump administration of pressuring Ukraine, citing alleged restrictions on Starlink and delays in weapons deliveries. He suggested U.S. support could change after congressional midterm elections.

U.S. officials rejected his claims. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called them irresponsible, while Rubio denied that Washington deliberately withheld warning information. Trump separately criticized Zelensky for continuing the war and striking Russian oil refineries, arguing that Ukraine could have reached a better deal earlier.

The program notes that Trump has not imposed the threatened sanctions on Russia. The White House said sanctions could undermine ongoing peace efforts. Medvedeva argues that the exchange is deepening the rift between Kyiv and Washington.

Reported tensions within Ukraine’s government

Citing unnamed political sources, the program describes growing friction between Zelensky and Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky. The sources allege that Koretsky has acted independently of the president’s circle, cultivated ties with European officials and civil-society groups, and struggled with some government responsibilities.

They predict Zelensky may seek Koretsky’s resignation in the spring and blame him for difficulties over the winter. These are reports from sources, not confirmed decisions.
