US puts onus on Zelenskyy for peace talks as Russia cripples Ukraine's energy grid | 5 points

India Today  

Russia continued its assault on Ukraine's energy grid on Friday with the war-torn nation facing long hours of power cuts at the onset of winter. With half of Kyiv's population plunged into darkness, the United States has said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has to decide on peace talks with Vladimir Putin, rejecting the notion that it was pressing Kyiv to negotiate. The United States on Friday said that only Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy can decide to open peace talks with Russia. Meanwhile, Russian missile strikes have crippled almost half of Ukraine’s energy system, the government said on Friday, and authorities in Kyiv warned that the city could face a “complete shutdown” of the power grid ahead of a long and cold winter.
