Zelensky seeks Spanish, Latin American aid to repair Ukraine's energy grid

Russian forces launched at least six ballistic missiles at Kyiv, injuring three, following Ukrainian intelligence warnings of impending strikes on energy infrastructure, Dnipro River bridges, and civilian sites. This confirms a pattern of Russian targeting of critical infrastructure and civilian areas, with the explicit mention of bridges suggesting a potential escalation to sever logistics. The extent of damage to energy infrastructure from the recent Kyiv strikes remains unclear.

Ukrainian President Zelensky confirmed his attendance at the Ibero-American Summit in Madrid, where he requested assistance from Spain and Latin American countries for the repair of Ukraine's energy infrastructure. This initiative aims to diversify international support, though the outcome of these diplomatic overtures remains uncertain. Concurrently, Cuba utilized the summit to highlight its grievances regarding the US embargo, contrasting the international focus on Ukraine.
