Russian Barrage Knocks Out Power and Ignites Odesa Grain Silos as Berlin Peace Talks Draw U.S. Envoys

Ceasefire prospects hinge on Moscow’s demand for withdrawals versus Kyiv’s refusal to cede territory.

Overview

  • Ukraine’s air force said Russia launched 465 drones and 30 missiles overnight, striking energy and port infrastructure across multiple regions.
  • Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko reported more than one million people without electricity, with outages hitting Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kherson and parts of Kyiv as hospitals shifted to generators.
  • Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Kuleba said grain silos at Odesa’s port caught fire, and President Volodymyr Zelensky said a Turkish-owned food ship was struck in the Black Sea.
  • Saratov regional governor Roman Busargin said a Ukrainian drone attack in Russia killed two people and damaged a residential building, a kindergarten and a clinic.
  • Talks in Berlin are scheduled through Monday with Zelensky, European leaders and U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, as the Kremlin ties any ceasefire to Ukrainian withdrawals in Donetsk and signals Russian security forces could remain in parts of Donbas.
