Kremenchuk Under Fire: Ukraine Accuses Putin of Sabotaging Peace Efforts

                                            Firefighters work at the site of a Russian drone strike in Odesa.

An overnight Russian drone and missile barrage struck the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk, leaving parts of the Poltava region without power and prompting fresh accusations from Kyiv that President Vladimir Putin has no interest in ending the war.

The assault — the largest in August so far — came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with U.S. President Donald Trump and European leaders in Washington to discuss a potential peace framework. According to Kremenchuk Mayor Vitalii Maletskyi, “scores of blasts” targeted energy and transport infrastructure at the very moment Putin was assuring Trump by phone that he sought peace.

Ukraine’s air force reported that Russia launched 270 drones and 10 missiles overnight, with 230 drones and six missiles intercepted. Strikes were recorded at 16 locations, damaging administrative buildings and cutting power to nearly 1,500 homes and over 100 businesses in the Lubny district.

While no casualties were reported, officials said the attack underscored Moscow’s continued targeting of critical infrastructure. Russia, in turn, claimed Ukrainian drones sparked fires at an oil refinery and a hospital roof in the Volgograd region.

The timing of the strike, coinciding with high-level peace talks, has reinforced Ukrainian claims that the Kremlin’s actions contradict its diplomatic rhetoric.
