At least three people died, including a 4-year-old child, two days before Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\nThe bombing affected homes and the power grid in 13 regions of Ukraine, causing widespread power outages amid freezing temperatures, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a day after describing recent progress towards a peace agreement as &#8220;quite solid&#8221;.\n\nThe bombing demonstrated Russian President Vladimir Putin&#8217;s intention to continue the invasion of Ukraine, Zelensky said in a post on the messaging app Telegram. Ukrainian and European officials have complained that Putin is not sincerely engaging in US-led peace efforts.\n\nThe attack &#8220;is a very clear signal of Russian priorities,&#8221; Zelensky said. &#8220;An attack before Christmas, when people want to be with their families, at home, safe. An attack, in fact, in the midst of negotiations to end this war. Putin cannot accept that we must stop killing.&#8221;\n\nThe U.S. President, Donald Trump, has been pushing for a peace agreement for months, but the negotiations have been bogged down by the very different demands of Moscow and Kyiv.\n\nThe U.S. envoy, Steve Witkoff, stated on Sunday that he held &#8220;productive and constructive&#8221; talks in Florida with Ukrainian and European representatives. Trump was less effusive on Monday, stating: &#8220;Talks are progressing.&#8221;\n\nInitial reports from Ukrainian emergency services said the child died in the northwestern region of Ukraine, Zhytomyr, while a drone killed a woman in the Kyiv region, and another civilian death was recorded in the western region of Khmelnytskyi, according to Zelenskyy.\n\nRussia launched 635 drones of various types and 38 missiles, according to the Ukrainian Air Force. Air defenses stopped 587 drones and 34 missiles, it added.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukraine \u2014 Russia fired more than 650 drones and three dozen missiles at Ukraine in a large-scale attack that began overnight and lasted until early Tuesday morning, according to authorities.
