Russian missiles batter Ukraine's embattled power grid
KYIV (Reuters) -Russia hammered Ukrainian energy facilities in a massive aerial attack on Friday that President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said was one of the largest yet on the ailing grid and evidence of why Kyiv needed more Western support before any peace with Russia. Russia's 12th major assault on the energy system this year damaged power facilities in several Ukrainian regions and forced authorities to impose even longer electricity cuts for millions of civilians, the national grid operator said. With winter temperatures currently around -6 degrees Celsius, the strikes increase pressure on Ukraine at an unpredictable moment with Donald Trump set to return to the White House next month, vowing to end the war quickly.

French central bank governor Francois Villeroy de Galhau, his Spanish colleague Jose Luis Escriva, Austria's Robert Holzmann and Luxembourg's Gaston Reinesch appeared to sharpen the message on Friday.
