Russia has bombed a hospital in Kharkiv, injuring at least 73 people, while also carrying out several attacks on energy infrastructure across multiple Ukrainian regions.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on X that “the Russians directly struck a city clinical hospital. Seventy-three people were injured, and the cardiology department, where people were receiving treatment, was damaged.”

Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov confirmed on Telegram that the hospital sustained heavy damage in Monday night’s bombardment, with more than 1,000 windows shattered.

Separately, Ukrainian energy sites were hit, including in Kharkiv, in what President Zelenskyy described as a “complex, massive attack”.

“The main target was energy – power generation facilities and substations – in the Odesa, Cherkasy, Zhytomyr, Vinnytsia, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Chernivtsi, Chernihiv, and Rivne regions,” he said in a post on X.

Zelenskyy added that Russia had launched 289 attack drones overnight, as well as 17 ballistic missiles and 59 cruise missiles. This comes a day after at least 31 people were killed in a Russian strike on an aid distribution centre.

The Russian Ministry of Defence said it had targeted electricity facilities in the Vinnytsia, ⁠Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions. In its statement, it said the sites supplied power to the Ukrainian army and military factories.

More than 180,000 people were without power in the Zhytomyr ⁠region on Tuesday morning after Russian attacks, Governor Vitalii Bunechko said. Odesa has implemented scheduled power outages in response to the attacks.

Meanwhile, two employees at a Russian oil refinery in Yaroslavl were injured during a Ukrainian drone attack that caused a fire at the site, according to Governor Mikhail Yevrayev.

The latest exchange of attacks comes as the United States ramps up efforts to end the war, with a meeting between US, Russian and Ukrainian officials due to take place in Abu Dhabi next week. US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said in a post on X late on Monday that the discussions would focus on “post-war security arrangements, de-escalation, humanitarian efforts, and next steps toward peace”.

Witkoff added that US negotiators would meet with representatives from France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the European Union and NATO in Brussels this week. He said the talks would focus on security guarantees for Ukraine, Europe’s post-war security architecture and economic opportunities to support Ukraine’s reconstruction.

This comes as global attention turns to Tuesday’s midterm elections in the US. Reporting from Kyiv, Al Jazeera’s Audrey MacAlpine said these were arguably the most important elections in recent years for Ukrainians.

“Since the Trump administration took office and the House and Senate flipped Republican, there have been no significant military aid packages for Ukraine. In comparison, Biden, during the early years of the war, you were looking at $60b in military aid for Ukraine,” MacAlpine said.

“Europe has largely filled that gap but certainly Ukraine would like to resume that aid from the US. That’s been at the top of President Zelenskyy’s agenda for over six months now,” she added.

俄罗斯轰炸了哈尔科夫的一家医院，造成至少 73 人受伤，同时还对乌克兰多个地区的能源基础设施发动了多次袭击。

乌克兰总统泽连斯基在X电视台表示，“俄罗斯人直接袭击了一家城市临床医院。73人受伤，正在接受治疗的心脏病科遭到破坏。”

哈尔科夫市长伊戈尔·捷列霍夫在 Telegram 上证实，该医院在周一晚上的轰炸中遭受严重破坏，超过 1000 扇窗户被震碎。

此外，乌克兰的能源设施也遭到袭击，包括哈尔科夫的设施，泽连斯基总统称之为“一次复杂的、大规模的袭击”。

他在 X 上的一篇帖子中表示：“主要目标是敖德萨、切尔卡瑟、日托米尔、文尼察、哈尔科夫、第聂伯罗、切尔诺夫策、切尔尼戈夫和罗夫诺地区的能源——发电设施和变电站。”

泽连斯基补充说，俄罗斯连夜发射了289架攻击型无人机、17枚弹道导弹和59枚巡航导弹。此前一天，俄罗斯袭击了一个援助物资分发中心，造成至少31人死亡。

俄罗斯国防部称，其袭击目标是文尼察州、第聂伯罗彼得罗夫斯克州和哈尔科夫州的电力设施。声明称，这些设施为乌克兰军队和军工厂供电。

日托米尔州州长维塔利·布涅奇科表示，周二上午，俄罗斯发动袭击后，该地区超过18万人断电。敖德萨市已实施计划性停电以应对此次袭击。

与此同时，据乌克兰州长米哈伊尔·叶夫拉耶夫称，在雅罗斯拉夫尔一家俄罗斯炼油厂，两名员工在乌克兰无人机袭击中受伤，袭击引发火灾。

最新一轮的袭击事件发生之际，美国正加紧努力结束战争，美俄乌三国官员将于下周在阿布扎比举行会晤。美国特使史蒂夫·威特科夫周一晚间在X网站上发文称，会谈将聚焦于“战后安全安排、局势降级、人道主义援助以及迈向和平的下一步措施”。

维特科夫补充说，美国谈判代表本周将在布鲁塞尔与法国、德国、英国、欧盟和北约的代表会面。他表示，会谈将重点讨论乌克兰的安全保障、欧洲战后安全架构以及支持乌克兰重建的经济机遇。

正值全球目光转向周二的美国中期选举之际，半岛电视台记者奥黛丽·麦克阿尔平从基辅报道称，这可以说是近年来对乌克兰人来说最重要的选举。

“自从特朗普政府上台，众议院和参议院都由共和党掌控以来，就没有向乌克兰提供过任何重要的军事援助。相比之下，拜登执政初期，乌克兰获得的军事援助高达600亿美元，”麦克阿尔平说道。

她补充说：“欧洲已经基本填补了这一缺口，但乌克兰当然希望恢复来自美国的援助。这在过去六个多月里一直是泽连斯基总统的首要议程。”
