Mayor Vitali Klitschko said Thursday's Russian drone strike killed four people and injured at least nineteen in Kyiv, up from earlier reports.

Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal said an energy facility important to the city was attacked.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a Ukrainian delegation will meet US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in the United States on Friday.

They will discuss an energy and Black Sea ceasefire.

Russia is preparing a detailed plan for strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure system this winter.

Energy Minister Denis Shmihal says, citing intelligence materials obtained by Kyiv.

He said that the documents cover power generation, heating, water supply, wastewater and other energy infrastructure, including calculations of the weapons needed against specific targets.

Shmihal said that Ukraine's built these 200 protective structures and so they're working at it.

We have everything else in place." But that seems like an improper framing to me, and I'll explain what I mean in just a little bit.

Ukraine is better prepar- prepared for winter strikes than last year, says, uh, Prime Minister Shmyhal.

He said at the YES 2026 conference, the strategy centers on decentralizing regional power and utility grids.

That's, that's gonna be an important step, and at-- to the degree that they can move that direction, they'll be in a much better position when the inevitable happens this winter.
