Ukraine says no early warnings from allies over Russian strikes

Ukraine says another major attack on its energy infrastructure has left six hundred thousand people without power. At least six people were killed in the overnight bombardment, which targeted the greater Kyiv area and Kharkiv in the northeast. President Zelensky has said that for a second night, his forces received no warning of the attacks from its allies.
