Kyiv has found itself increasingly vulnerable. A huge attack cut power to 600,000 people there, and a Pentagon-funded satellite program appeared to be curbed without warning.

Mr Zelensky says he would agree to an energy ceasefire if Russia did the same. To appease Mr Trump and keep the intel and weapons flowing, Ukraine has suspended attacks on Russian energy targets. Russia, however, has struck dozens of Ukrainian energy facilities during the supposed truce, according to Mr Zelensky.
