There are new hints that\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a> will supply Ukraine<\/a> with American long-range Tomahawk missiles which could reach Moscow.<\/p>\n

Ukraine’s foreign ministry said Washington and Kyiv<\/a> are engaged in ‘a very detailed and active discussion about the possibility of providing these missiles’.<\/p>\n

The weapons could be a game changer for Ukraine, allowing precision attacks at Russian military and energy assets far from the frontline.<\/p>\n

The jet-powered, subsonic cruise missile costing up to \u00a33 million each have been requested by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They have a range of 1,500 miles and could hit targets around both Moscow<\/a> and St Petersburg.<\/p>\n

‘Currently, the Ukrainian and American teams are working to coordinate all these details, discussing all the nuances regarding in what forms and configurations the missiles can be provided to Ukraine,’ said foreign ministry spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi.<\/p>\n

Putin has labelled a Tomahawk deployment as ‘monstrous’ and said such a move would destroy his relationship with Trump.<\/p>\n

But Trump has expressed anger that Putin goes on killing and refuses to strike a peace deal.<\/p>\n

This came as Russia staged new ruthless attacks on Ukrainian electricity facilities, triggering a fresh wave of blackouts.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko described the attack as ‘one of the largest concentrated strikes’ against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Power was restored to over 800,000 residents in Kyiv on Saturday after Russian attacks caused blackouts across the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ukraine’s largest private energy firm, DTEK, said today that ‘the main work to restore power supply’ had been completed, but that some localised outages were still affecting Kyiv following Friday’s attacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Russian drone and missile strikes wounded at least 20 people in Kyiv, damaged residential buildings and triggered blackouts across swaths of Ukraine early Friday.<\/p>\n

Russia’s Defense Ministry on Friday said the strikes had targeted energy facilities supplying Ukraine’s military.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It did not give details of those facilities, but said Russian forces used Kinzhal hypersonic missiles and strike drones against them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The energy sector has been a key battleground since Russia launched its all-out invasion more than three years ago.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko described the attack as ‘one of the largest concentrated strikes’ against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure<\/p>\n

Each year, Russia has tried to cripple the Ukrainian power grid before the bitter winter season, apparently hoping to erode public morale.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Winter temperatures run from late October through March, with January and February the coldest months.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his nightly address Friday that Russia was taking advantage of the world being ‘almost entirely focused on the prospect of establishing peace in the Middle East,’ and called for strengthening Ukraine’s air defense systems and tighter sanctions on Russia.<\/p>\n

‘Russian assets must be fully used to strengthen our defense and ensure recovery,’ he said in the video, posted to X.<\/p>\n
