A nighttime Russian attack on the Kremenchuk and Lubny districts of Poltava region cut off electricity to hundreds of consumers and damaged the administrative buildings of the local energy infrastructure company, the regional governor said on Monday, Reuters reported.

Reuters reports that Ukrainian regional officials said the attack that hit Kremenchuk and left hundreds of consumers in the Poltava region without electricity shows that Russian President Vladimir Putin does not want peace.
During a summit at the White House yesterday, United States President Donald Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that the United States would help guarantee Ukraine's security in any agreement that would end Russia's war against the country.
After the meeting, Trump called the Russian leader and began arrangements for a meeting between Putin and Zelensky.
"At the same moment that Putin was convincing Trump by phone to seek peace, and when President Volodymyr Zelensky was holding talks at the White House with European leaders about a just peace, Putin's army launched another massive attack on Kremenchuk," Vitaly Maletsky, mayor of Kremenchuk, a city in Poltava region, wrote on Telegram.
Maletski added that dozens of explosions rocked the city.
"The world has seen once again that Putin does not want peace — he wants to destroy Ukraine," he said.
Reuters reports that the extent of the attack was not clear.
The Ukrainian Air Force announced overnight that central Ukraine was under threat of attack by cruise missiles.
Poltava Governor Volodymyr Kohut said the attack damaged the administrative buildings of the local energy infrastructure company.
"Fortunately, there were no casualties," Kohut said on Telegram.
He added that in Lubny district, nearly 1.500 households and 119 commercial users were left without power.
Russia did not immediately respond.
During the war, both sides target military-critical infrastructure, including energy infrastructure, on the other's territory.
Russia said on Tuesday that a Ukrainian nighttime drone strike had caused fires at an oil refinery and on the roof of a hospital in the Volgograd region.
