Ukraine got no warning of Russian ballistic attack from partners, Zelenskiy says

President Volodymyr ​Zelenskiy said ​on Monday that ‌Ukraine had ​again received no early warning from ‌its allies as Russia pounded the Ukrainian energy sector and other infrastructure with ballistic ‌missiles overnight. He said on Telegram ‌that Russia had launched 16 ballistic missiles and more than 200 drones of ⁠various ​types, ⁠including jet-powered Shahed drones.

The strikes damaged more than ⁠10 energy facilities and left at least ​550,000 households without power, Zelenskiy added. Ukraine ⁠has been relying on information passed ⁠on ​from a highly advanced US early warning system to try ⁠to defend against or at least prepare for ⁠the ⁠arrival of volleys of high-speed Russian ballistic missiles.
