Summary

On October 14, 2026, Russia launched ballistic missiles targeting energy facilities in Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Sumy, and the eastern Kharkiv region, resulting in the Starlink system being damaged. The strikes killed 15 people and injured 6 others. Ukrainian officials have accused the United States of aiding Russia by failing to provide warnings about the incoming missile launches and by restricting the functionality of the Starlink system, which is vital for Ukrainian military communications and logistics. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticized the lack of notice from Western partners and appealed for the restoration of full Starlink operations.
