Russia launched a massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine on December 23, 2025, firing over 650 drones and three dozen missiles. The barrage struck homes and the power grid in 13 regions of Ukraine, causing widespread outages and killing at least three people, including a 4-year-old child. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack, stating it demonstrated Russian President Vladimir Putin's intention to continue the invasion despite ongoing peace negotiations. DTEK, Ukraine's largest private energy supplier, reported that its thermal power stations were targeted for the seventh time since October. The attack occurred shortly after Zelenskyy described progress on a peace deal as 'quite solid' and while U.S. President Donald Trump and envoy Steve Witkoff were involved in peace efforts. Poland and allied fighter jets were deployed near the western border in response to the strikes.
