gtjogo Missile Strikes Hotel in Zelensky’s Hometown in Ukraine

　　

A Russian missile slammed into a hotel late Wednesday in the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, killing at least four people and injuring more than 30 others, the Ukrainian authorities said.

Catrin Einhorn spoke to scientist Jane Goodall about her storied career. Astead Herndon interviewed North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper about the politics of the energy transition.

Two such companies — Constellation Energy and Vistra — were the top performers in the S&P 500 in September through Thursday, with returns of more than 30 percent. Shares of Constellation Energy, the biggest nuclear plant operator in the United States, surged when it signed a deal on Sept. 20 to supply Microsoft’s burgeoning A.I. data centers with energy from the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant near Harrisburg, Pa.

“Just before the attack, volunteers from a humanitarian organization — citizens of Ukraine, the United States and the United Kingdom — had checked into the hotel,” Mr. Zelensky said in a statement. “They survived because they managed to get down from their rooms in time. Unfortunately,betef slots four people were killed in this attack.”

“There must be no pause in the pressure on Russia to stop this war and terror against life,” he said.

The latest strikes occurred after an announcement from the United States that the country was suspending both military and intelligence assistance to Ukraine in an effort to force Ukraine to the negotiating table with Russia. Officials in Kyiv have warned that without American assistance Ukraine’s air-defense capabilities would be among the first elements of its security to be compromised.

The Trump administration’s special envoy to Russia and Ukraine, retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, said on Thursday that cutting off intelligence sharing with Kyiv was meant to get the attention of Mr. Zelensky, akin to “hitting a mule with a two-by-four across the nose.”

Mr. Kellogg was speaking to the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington, and his remarks earned a frosty reception from the national security experts in the audience. When Mr. Kellogg, discussing the pause in intelligence sharing, said the Ukrainians “brought it on themselves,” the audience hissed in response.
