US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov held a telephone call on February 16 to "open a channel of communication" for future talks about the war in Ukraine.
Russian forces conducted a series of drone strikes against Ukraine on the night of February 16 to 17.
The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russian forces launched 147 Shahed and decoy drones from Oryol, Bryansk, and Kursk oblasts; Millerovo, Rostov Oblast; Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Krasnodar Krai; and Shatalovo, Smolensk Oblast. [97] The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Ukrainian forces downed 83 drones over Kharkiv, Poltava, Sumy, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Zaporizhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Odesa oblasts and that 59 decoy drones were ”lost,” likely due to Ukrainian electronic warfare (EW) interference as of 0900 local time. Ukrainian officials reported that Russian forces struck civilian infrastructure in Kharkiv, Kyiv, and Zaporizhia oblasts and caused power outages in Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts. [98] Ukraine’s Southern Operational Command reported that two Russian Su-30 fighters launched three Kh-31P anti-radar missiles from the Black Sea toward Odesa Oblast on the night of February 17. [99]
Ukrainian officials stated that Ukrainian authorities extinguished three fires in the shelter above the fourth power unit of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (CNPP) as of the morning of February 17 following the February 14 Russian strike on the CNPP and that the strikes caused power supply problems to equipment in the New Safe Containment structure.
