Ukraine rushed to restore power supplies following the latest round of Russian attacks, while President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke with President Biden and other Group of Seven leaders following a flurry of weekend diplomacy aimed at strengthening sanctions on Russia.  

As many as 1.5 million people were left without power in Ukraine’s southern Odessa region after Russian strikes late Saturday. Officials have warned it will take longer to restore power after the most recent attacks. Mr. Zelensky, speaking via videoconference to leaders of the G-7 nations, asked for more support over the next year, including by providing gas, modern tanks, more rocket artillery and more long-range missiles.
