Russia Attacks Ukrainian Energy Grid, Forcing Power Cuts as Winter Looms

Russia unleashed a widely anticipated air campaign against Ukraine's energy grid on Wednesday, hitting power facilities and infrastructure around Kyiv and other regions in the heaviest combined attack on energy sites in months.

The strikes, in which Ukrainian officials said seven people were killed, followed days of intensifying drone barrages primarily on the capital, a prelude to what many Ukrainians expect to be a winter of attacks intended to plunge cities into cold and darkness when Ukraine is short of air defenses.

Ukraine's state power grid operator Ukrenergo said it had imposed emergency power cuts as a result of the attack in Kyiv and three surrounding regions — the first time such a measure had been imposed in the capital since the spring.

Russian attacks last winter, which brought record-low temperatures, ravaged power and heating systems, ‌forcing Ukrainians to adapt ‌to dire circumstances.

CAPITAL SHROUDED IN SMOKE

Some of the capital's trams and trolley buses ground to ‌a halt ⁠due to the ⁠outages as people headed home from work. Kyiv's water utility said pressure in the water system was reduced.

"Russia has escalated to massive strikes on energy infrastructure," Prime Minister Sergii Koretskyi said on X after the attacks overnight.

"Since summer, there's barely been a day without an attack on our energy infrastructure. But a combined strike of this scale hasn't happened since the end of last heating season."

Kyiv residents awoke on Wednesday to a city shrouded in fog from the smoke of attacks, which authorities said damaged a key power plant and other energy facilities around the capital.

Ukraine's air force said its air defenses had intercepted 254 of 285 Russian drones deployed until early evening.

It said 174 drones were high-flying ⁠and faster jet-propelled models, which are harder to intercept. Russian forces had also launched a ballistic ‌missile attack.

A child was among the seven dead across Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said, ‌with critical infrastructure coming under attack in five regions. Further damage was reported in another five regions, he added.

Zelenskiy visited a military command post near ‌the town of Lyman near the eastern frontline and praised what he said were gains against Russian forces during a counteroffensive.

He ‌said Ukrainian forces had recaptured 176 sq. km. (29.3 sq. miles) of territory since the start of the operation.

Russia said its forces had struck power plants in the Kyiv region, an industrial complex in Odesa region, and port infrastructure in Ismail in the southwest.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said debris had been found at a Western embassy, but offered no further details. The overnight attack triggered a more than 12-hour air-raid alert.

Drone strikes continued in Kyiv into ‌the early evening.

Near-constant daytime sirens and explosions have become a fixture of daily life in Kyiv, where drone attacks have killed around a dozen people over the past week alone.

PM ⁠ORDERS POWER BACKUP CHECKS

Ukrainian Foreign Minister ⁠Andrii Sybiha described Wednesday's attack by Russia as a "deliberate" distraction from its grinding battlefield offensive in eastern Ukraine, which has slowed since last year.

"Moscow is increasing the pressure on Ukrainian civilians as winter approaches, trying once again to turn cold, darkness, and disruption of normal life into weapons," he said on X.

Forecasters say they expect freezing temperatures at night in Kyiv in the coming days.

Russia, which began its full-scale invasion in February 2022, denies targeting civilians although it has pounded cities and towns across Ukraine.

Koretskyi, the prime minister, said he had instructed local authorities to check the readiness of backup power systems at critical facilities and speed up installations.

Authorities in recent weeks and months have been building protective facilities and aiming to diversify energy generation before Russia's expected winter campaign.

However, Ukrainian human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said there was a critical shortage of urban shelters, describing the civil-defense system as having "completely failed".

DRONES CROSS INTO MOLDOVA

In Moldova, on Ukraine's western border, the defense ministry said three drones had crossed into its airspace over the course of the day.

NATO members Romania and Poland both scrambled military jets, the countries said, and flights at the Polish airports of Lublin and Rzeszow were suspended for a time.

Ukraine has also stepped up attacks on Russia, striking oil refineries and online retailers to undermine its war effort.

Google Announces Gemini 4 Flagship AI Model After Months of Delays

Alphabet's Google on Wednesday announced a new top-tier artificial intelligence model to anchor its Gemini 4 generation of models in a fresh bid to catch up to rivals Anthropic and OpenAI in the AI race.

The new model, "Argon", is larger in size than Google's previous line of advanced "Pro" models, a company spokesperson said.

"It's our most performant model yet built for complex workloads, and we see it comparable ‌to frontier ‌models like (OpenAI's) Astra and (Anthropic's) Opus on ‌key ⁠coding and cyber benchmarks," ⁠the spokesperson said.

Google said it was providing the model to select cybersecurity partners and was participating in the Trump administration's voluntary process for pre-release model access. It did not provide a timeline for the model's public release.

The model posted better marks than Astra and Opus ⁠in terms of self-reported performance on several ‌industry benchmarks, per a company ‌press release. Still, Argon remained behind on certain other metrics, ‌including two of the four coding-related benchmarks Google included ‌in the release.

Google no longer plans to release Gemini 3.5 Pro, which CEO Sundar Pichai originally said would be released in June, according to the company spokesperson.

In the intervening ‌time, Google overhauled its DeepMind AI lab, with its founder and CEO Demis ⁠Hassabis stepping ⁠aside and several leaders of its Gemini model leaving the company.

The months of delays to its AI model have caused the company to fall behind Anthropic and OpenAI, which continued to push the research frontier with new releases to its top models.

Pichai in July pushed back on the notion that Google was losing ground in the AI race. But Google in recent months has shifted its messaging from touting Gemini's cutting-edge capabilities to highlighting its cost advantage compared to competitor models.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday announced the creation of a new military command that would be dedicated to building and providing autonomous and robotic capabilities across the US military.

The command, which Hegseth said would be called "Autonomous Warfare Command," highlights the rapidly changing nature of warfare and the need to make progress on systems like drones and the use of artificial intelligence.

Creating a new command is not common — the last one was US Space Command in 2019 — and the move reflects the Pentagon's push to shift from costly ‌conventional weapons platforms ‌to cheaper, AI-driven autonomous systems that have proved decisive in ‌recent ⁠conflicts.

Speaking in front ⁠of hundreds of junior officers and enlisted personnel at Quantico, Virginia, in a speech peppered with attacks on the media, Hegseth said the command would be led by a four-star officer.

"The pace of war is changing faster than the process to support it," Hegseth said in a speech called the "State of the Force," in which he announced other changes, including the creation of the office of religious affairs.

"Cheap compute, superintelligence, and ⁠advanced commercial manufacturing have enabled the proliferation of low-cost, high-precision strike," ‌Hegseth added.

The US military currently has 11 combatant ‌commands, which are responsible for different parts of the world and specific tasks.

EXPERTS WARN OF ‌AI RISKS

Experts have expressed fears over the potential for unchecked AI development and ‌technology rivalries that could further heighten risks across the global security environment.

Both China and the US — the two major drivers of cutting-edge AI development and its global adoption — have been at loggerheads over AI policies and industry practices. Security experts from both countries have called for ‌guardrails and consensus-building regarding AI in military systems, including nuclear weapons.

The United States has long relied on its vast military budget ⁠to field some ⁠of the world's most expensive weapons systems. But there is an increasing realization within the Pentagon that this is not sustainable.

"Today we need both quality and quantity," Hegseth said.

WAR IN UKRAINE ILLUSTRATES DRONE WARFARE

The technology of war has evolved rapidly in recent years, a shift starkly illustrated by Russia's war in Ukraine.

What began as a conflict dominated by tanks and artillery has increasingly become a drone war.

Outgunned in conventional armor and aircraft, Ukraine turned to inexpensive unmanned systems for reconnaissance and attack. Drones are estimated to account for about 70% of Russian casualties, enabling strikes to be carried out remotely and reducing the risk to pilots and aircrews.

The Pentagon has in recent years made some progress, including the creation of a task force — Joint Interagency Task Force 401 — that is focused on countering drones.
