Kyiv seeks firm U.S. security guarantees to bolster diplomacy as nationwide power shortfalls strain the country’s resilience.

Overview

  • A Ukrainian delegation led by Kyrylo Budanov is meeting U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner and Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll in Miami to finalize a near‑ready 20‑point peace proposal.
  • Ukraine’s Energy Ministry has declared a state of emergency after intensified strikes on power infrastructure produced widespread outages in subzero temperatures.
  • The Air Force reported Russia launched about 201 drones overnight, with defenses downing or suppressing 167, and authorities said at least two people were killed and dozens injured.
  • President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged partners to speed electricity imports, deliver additional power equipment and supply more air‑defense missiles to protect the grid and civilians.
