Meanwhile, Russia attacked Kyiv with drones and missiles, causing many people to lose heating.

Russia has termed Ukraine's plan 'radically different' from their own proposal and insists on full control over contested areas.
Zelenskyy also met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who announced new economic assistance for Ukraine.
The meeting with Trump will focus on a 20-point peace plan that could involve territorial concessions.
Russia has claimed territorial gains, but Ukraine disputes these claims.
The talks aim to address security guarantees and territorial issues, with Ukraine rejecting any territorial concessions.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is traveling to the US to meet with President Donald Trump in Florida to discuss a 20-point peace plan to end the war in Ukraine.
Before meeting Trump, Zelenskyy held a video conference with NATO and European Union leaders, emphasizing the need for strong military and diplomatic positions to prevent Russian manipulation.
Zelenskyy thanked allies for their support and urged sustained and united backing for Ukraine, highlighting the importance of security guarantees.
