President Andrzej Duda was more cautious, saying that it was \u201cmost probably\u201d Russian-made but that its origins were still being verified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are acting with calm,\u201d Duda said. \u201cThis is a difficult situation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden\u2019s decision to convene an emergency meeting of the G-7 and NATO leaders upended schedules for the final day of the Group of 20 meeting in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden, who was awakened overnight by staff with the news of the missile while attending the summit, called Polish President Andrzej Duda to express his condolences. On Twitter, Biden promised \u201cfull U.S support for and assistance with Poland\u2019s investigation,\u201d and \u201creaffirmed the United States\u2019 ironclad commitment to NATO.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg called the meeting of the alliance\u2019s envoys in Brussels. The U.N. Security Council also planned to meet Wednesday for a previously scheduled briefing on the situation in Ukraine. The strike in Poland was certain to be raised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poland\u2019s statement did not address whether the strike could have been a targeting error or if the missile could have been knocked off course by Ukrainian defenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In their statements, Poland and NATO used language that suggested they were not treating the missile blast as an intentional Russian attack, at least for now.

It reported massive power outages after the strikes knocked out a key power line that supplies the small nation, an official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The missile strikes plunged much of Ukraine into darkness and drew defiance from Zelenskyy, who shook his fist and declared: \u201cWe will survive everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his nightly address, the Ukrainian leader said the strike in Poland offered proof that \u201cterror is not limited by our state borders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need to put the terrorist in its place. The longer Russia feels impunity, the more threats there will be for everyone within the reach of Russian missiles,\u201d Zelenskyy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia fired at least 85 missiles, most of them aimed at the country\u2019s power facilities, and blacked out many cities, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ukrainian energy minister said the attack was \u201cthe most massive\u201d bombardment of power facilities in the nearly 9-month-old invasion, striking both power generation and transmission systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The minister, Herman Haluschenko, accused Russia of \u201ctrying to cause maximum damage to our energy system on the eve of winter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aerial assault, which resulted in at least one death in a residential building in the capital, Kyiv, followed days of euphoria in Ukraine sparked by one of its biggest military successes \u2014 the retaking last week of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/ukraine\/2022\/11\/09\/russia-says-its-withdrawing-troops-from-key-ukrainian-city\/\" target=\"_blank\">southern city of Kherson<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The power grid was already battered by previous attacks that destroyed an estimated 40% of the country\u2019s energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian President Vladimir Putin has not commented on the retreat from Kherson since his troops pulled out in the face of a Ukrainian offensive. But the stunning scale of Tuesday\u2019s strikes spoke volumes and hinted at anger in the Kremlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By striking targets in the late afternoon, not long before dusk, the Russian military forced rescue workers to labor in the dark and gave repair crews scant time to assess the damage by daylight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than a dozen regions \u2014 among them Lviv in the west, Kharkiv in the northeast and others in between \u2014 reported strikes or efforts by their air defenses to shoot missiles down. At least a dozen regions reported power outages, affecting cities that together have millions of people. Almost half of the Kyiv region lost power, authorities said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMost of the hits were recorded in the center and in the north of the country. In the capital, the situation is very difficult,\u201d said a senior official, Kyrylo Tymoshenko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said a total of 15 energy targets were damaged and claimed that 70 missiles were shot down. A Ukrainian Air Force spokesman said Russia used X-101 and X-555 cruise missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As city after city reported attacks, Tymoshenko urged Ukrainians to \u201chang in there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With its battlefield losses mounting, Russia has increasingly resorted to targeting Ukraine\u2019s power grid, seemingly hoping to turn the approach of winter into a weapon by leaving people in the cold and dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dutch Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra took to a bomb shelter in Kyiv after meeting his Ukrainian counterpart and, from his place of safety, described the bombardment as \u201can enormous motivation to keep standing shoulder-to-shoulder\u201d with Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strikes came as authorities were already working furiously to get Kherson back on its feet and beginning to investigate alleged Russian abuses there and in the surrounding area. The southern city is without power and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The retaking of Kherson dealt another stinging blow to the Kremlin. Zelenskyy likened the recapture to the Allied landings in France on D-Day in World War II, saying both were watershed events on the road to eventual victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But large parts of eastern and southern Ukraine remain under Russian control, and fighting continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other developments, leaders of most of the world\u2019s economic powers were drawing closer to <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/g20-summit-russia-ukraine-war-28ec9b6a9c0e7efd829e91d731fb4e21\" target=\"_blank\">approval of a declaration strongly denouncing Russia\u2019s invasion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Tuesday, U.S. President Joe Biden and Zelenskyy pressed fellow G20 leaders at the summit in Indonesia for a robust condemnation of Russia\u2019s nuclear threats and food embargoes. More discussion and a possible vote come Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Associated Press writers Joanna Kozlowska in London; Jamey Keaten in Geneva; Mike Corder in The
