The energy ceasefire brokered by U.S. President Donald J. Trump between Russia and Ukraine collapsed overnight, as Russia launched a large-scale, hours-long drone and missile assault on Monday targeting Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities. The attack struck energy infrastructure, including power plants and substations, as well as several high-rise residential buildings in Kyiv and elsewhere across the country, while Russia continued firing drones along with cruise and ballistic missiles. Trilateral talks between Russia and Ukraine had been scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday in Abu Dhabi, but Monday night’s assault could now jeopardize the negotiations organized by the Trump administration.

Lt. Gen. Jason Armagost, deputy commander of Air Force Global Strike Command, said the U.S. operation known as “Midnight Hammer” was deliberately limited in scope. Speaking at the Mitchell Institute Airpower Forum, he described it as a single, precise action rather than part of a broader campaign. Following the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites last June, Iran responded with a restrained ballistic missile attack on one regional base — a move seen as an effort to project strength at home while avoiding escalation with Washington. According to the Wall Street Journal, analysts warn that a far larger U.S. air campaign would likely prompt a much stronger Iranian response. Tehran could unleash its stockpile of short- and medium-range ballistic missiles against U.S. and Israeli targets across the Middle East and activate its network of proxy forces. While Israel has significantly weakened Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, Iran could still encourage Yemen’s Houthi movement to strike shipping and regional infrastructure, and direct allied militias in Iraq and extremist groups in Syria to attack U.S. forces. image
