WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. State Department has expressed its displeasure about Ukraine’s recent attacks on the ⁠ Russian port of Novorossiysk on the Black Sea that have impacted U.S. oil interests in ⁠Kazakhstan, Kyiv’s chief envoy to Washington said on Tuesday.

No official number of deaths for Ukraine’s hardest winter in its protracted fight for survival has been collated yet. Some estimates put the figure at 200 deaths owing to cold, so-called ‘white deaths’. Yet given the tens of thousands left without heating and the rolling blackouts, a worse outcome may have been possible.

Volodymyr Zelensky has said he hopes President Trump will visit Ukraine "one day" to understand the "enormity of this pain."

Russia has lost as many as 325,000 troops, according to some estimates, with more than 200,000 deaths verified by researchers.

The energy war between Russia and Ukraine has entered a new phase of more systematic aerial attack on Ukraine's grid and Russia's oil infrastructure.

Among the most difficult points are the fate of Ukraine's partially occupied eastern Donbas region and the nature of post-war Western security guarantees for Ukraine.
