19.02.2025Day When Odesa Froze in Dark
Russian drone strikes on Odesa's infrastructure left 250,000 residents without heat and power during morning hours, damaging children's clinics and kindergartens. While the city struggled with outages, Trump's special envoy Kellogg arrived in Kyiv with a stated mission "to listen."

By midday, Zelenskyy held a press conference responding to Trump's claim of his 4% approval rating, attributing it to Russian disinformation. The Ukrainian stock market dropped following Trump's criticism. Boris Johnson and Keir Starmer publicly supported Zelenskyy's position.

Evening developments centered on Macron's announcement of EU security commitments following a second emergency summit, while Ukrainian forces reportedly struck Russian oil infrastructure in Kuban.
