Ahead of the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russia launched a wave of drone and missile attacks on Sunday, targeting Ukraine's power grid and killing at least one man in Kyiv. Explosions in Lviv killed a police officer, but Russia's involvement is unconfirmed. The attacks occurred days after U.S.-mediated peace negotiations in Geneva showed little progress, with another round of talks expected in early March. Ukraine's Air Force reported shooting down a majority of the incoming missiles and drones. Russia has been relentlessly attacking Ukraine's electricity grid this winter, causing widespread power outages. A woman was arrested in connection to the Lviv explosions.
