Trump's Troubles Mount as Russia, Iran, and Gen Z Turn Away

President Donald Trump faced a confluence of challenges this week, ranging from international tensions and domestic concerns to the ongoing release of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. A massive Russian strike crippled Ukraine's power grid, while the U.S. prepared for nuclear negotiations with Iran.

Russia launched a record number of ballistic missiles targeting Ukraine's energy sector, causing widespread damage and leaving over 1,000 tower blocks in Kyiv without heating, according to the BBC. The strikes, which hit power plants and infrastructure in Kyiv and multiple locations, were described by private energy company DTEK as "the most powerful blow" so far this year. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Russia was "choosing terror and escalation" and called for "maximum pressure" on Moscow from Ukraine's allies, the BBC reported. The attack occurred as temperatures dropped to -20C (-4F).

The strikes followed the expiration of an "energy truce" agreed upon by Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to the BBC. Zelensky suggested that Russia had used the time to stockpile missiles for the attack. The attack also coincided with a visit to Kyiv by NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, the BBC noted.

Meanwhile, the U.S. and Iran are scheduled to meet in Turkey this week to negotiate over Iran's nuclear program, NPR Politics reported. U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to lead the negotiations, according to Time. These talks follow previous considerations of military action by the U.S. and come as Iran faces economic challenges, according to Time.

Domestically, the Justice Department released another tranche of files from its investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex trafficker, Vox reported. Over 3 million files have been released, according to Time.

In other news, Trump announced a trade deal with India that will lower tariffs to 18%, NPR Politics reported. The Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt partially reopened for limited evacuations and reunions, according to Time.
