Vyacheslav Gladkov, the governor of Russia's western Belgorod region said in posts to Telegram that power and heating outages had forced hundreds of people to rely on "heating points."

"Unfortunately, rolling blackouts are inevitable," Gladkov said, noting that Belgorod city will be among the areas subject to unpredictable outages.

Gov. Alexander Khinshtein of the neighboring Kursk region said that 28,000 customers were without power as a result of "another series of cowardly attacks on our territory."

Both regions have been subject to regular Ukrainian drone, missile and artillery attacks. Both have also seen Ukrainian ground incursions during the nearly 4-year-old war.

'Normal life has disappeared': Russia's energy offensive plunges Ukraine into dark and bitter cold

Recent months have seen both Russia and Ukraine focus attacks on energy infrastructure targets. In Ukraine, millions have facedrolling outagesas a result of months of Russian missile and drone strikes on energy targets all across the country. Moscow, Kyiv has said, is trying to freeze Ukrainians into submission.

The Kremlin, meanwhile, has framed long-range Ukrainian strikes as "terrorist attacks."

Zelenskyy on Sunday defended Ukraine's retaliatory attacks inside Russia, describing the Russian energy sector as "a legitimate target."

"We do not have to choose whether we strike a military target or energy," Zelenskyy said while addressing students at the National Aviation University in Kyiv. "He sells this energy. He sells oil. So is it energy, or is it a military target? Honestly, it's the same thing. He sells oil, takes the money, invests it in weapons. And with those weapons, he kills Ukrainians."

Zelenskyy said that left Ukraine with two options: "We either build weapons and strike their weapons. Or we strike the source where their money is generated and multiplied. And that source is their energy sector. That is what is happening. All of this is a legitimate target for us."

Russian strikes kill 3 in Ukraine as Zelenskyy calls for Western air defense aid

The nightly exchange of drones continued on Monday night.

Ukraine's air force said Russia launched 125 drones into the country overnight, of which 110 were shot down or suppressed. Thirteen drones impacted across six locations, the air force said in a post to Telegram.

Vadym Filashkin, the governor of Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, said in a post to social media that two people were killed and seven people injured by a Russian strike in the city of Slovyansk, close to the front line.

At least four people were injured by a drone strike on a house in the southern city of Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine's Interior Ministry said. Among the injured was a 1-year-old child, the ministry said.

Oleh Kiper, the governor of the southern Odesa region, said in a post to Telegram that Russian drones attacked energy infrastructure overnight, leaving at least three communities partially without power.

The Russian Defense Ministry, meanwhile, said its forces shot down at least six Ukrainian drones overnight into Tuesday morning.

Ukraine war must become 'untenable' for Russia, Zelenskyy says after latest strikes

Russia's federal air transport agency, Rosaviatsiya, said that temporary flight restrictions were introduced at airports in the Black Sea city of Gelendzhik and in the western city of Kaluga.

Peace maneuvers are ongoing against the backdrop of long-range strikes and Russia's attritional offensive operations in eastern Ukraine.

Zelenskyy said in a post to social media on Monday night that proposed post-war Western security guarantees intended to protect Ukraine from repeated Russian aggression are "ready."

"There is no alternative to security. There is no alternative to peace. There is no alternative to rebuilding our country," Zelenskyy said.

The Ukrainian president also said there will be "significant international events this week -- on defense and security."

Russia launches more than 440 drones, missiles at Ukraine overnight, Zelenskyy says

"Our negotiating team is working every single day on the documents and proposals that could deliver results at the upcoming meetings," Zelenskyy said.

"Most importantly, our partners must be aligned the same way we are in Ukraine: peace is needed, and reliable security guarantees are the only real foundation for peace and for preventing the Russians from breaking agreements through strikes or hybrid operation of some kind," he added.

David Njoku is taking his talents elsewhere.

The longtime Browns tight end is not returning to Cleveland after spending the first nine years of his career with the organization, he revealed in an Instagram post Monday night.

"Cleveland, first off I love you. These 9 years have been a beautiful journey,"he wrote in the post."I'm am so grateful for all the memories we shared together. Thank you to The Haslams, Andrew Berry and the whole browns organization for everything!! All my teammates I shared the battle with I'm so grateful for you guys. The time for me to find a new home has come and all I can think of is just the gratefulness in my heart. The city of Cleveland will forever be home."

He ended the message with a heart emoji and the hashtag, "ChiefOut.

Njoku was taken with the No. 29 overall pick by the Browns in 2017 and has gone on to make significant contributions to the franchise since his arrival.

He will depart Cleveland ranked second among tight ends in franchise history in touchdown catches with 34 and receptions with 384.

Rumors had started to swirl about Njoku before the NFL trade deadline in November, but he did not end up getting moved.

The Browns are expected to look very different next season withnew head coach Todd Monkenat the helm, which is something general manager Andrew Berry implied, saying the offense will see "significant turnover."

Njoku dealt with injury issues during his final two seasons in Cleveland, missing a combined 11 games over that time.

He finished last season with only 33 catches for 293 yards and four touchdowns, which were the fewest catches and receiving yards he's had since the 2020 season.

In his nine years with the Browns, Njoku earned Pro Bowl honors in 2023.

"We're really excited about this partnership," Rosalyn Durant, ESPN executive vice president of programming & acquisitions, tells USA TODAY Sports. "I can tell you that it's been a journey with them, but we've never been closer than we are now, and nor have we ever been more deeply connected than we are now.''

MLB's $200+ million contracts

$765,000,000: Juan Soto, New York Mets (2025-39)

"It's all about providing more value to MLB fans, more value to MLB.TV subscribers," Durant said, "providing them with more content and more options."

Said ESPN senior vice president John Lasker: "It basically allows us to bring that wonderful MLB.TV product and marry it with ESPN's digital products and platforms to create this ultimate win for baseball fans. We're really excited about what this agreement is allowing baseball and ESPN to do for baseball fans."

While NBC and Peacock will now broadcast the exclusive Sunday night games – as well as the wild-card postseason round – ESPN will still broadcast 30 weeknight games each season. ESPN also will televise the Little League Classic in August and will have rights to games on Memorial Day, and the standalone game two days after the All-Star game, which this year features the New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies.

Netflix will also take over the Home Run Derby, and will have exclusive coverage of the New York Yankees-San Francisco Giants season opener on March 25.

In the third quarter of theDetroit Pistons-Charlotte Hornets game Monday night, a brawl ended up breaking out and the scene is pure bananas. A total offour players were ejectedas a result of the fight.

ForwardMoussa Diabateand forwardMiles Bridgeswere ejected on the Hornets' side, while the Pistons saw centerJalen Durenand forwardIsaiah Stewarttossed. Charles Lee, the head coach of Charlotte, was later ejected during fourth quarter action after being restrained from charging toward a referee regarding a call.

With a little more than seven minutes remaining in the third quarter, Duren was fouled by Diabate while driving into the paint. After the former turned around, the two then got face to face, seemingly butting heads in the process. Eventually, Duren pushed Diabate's head, and from there, all hell broke loose. It was so crazy that the police even had to get involved.(RELATED: Olympic Athletes Are Being Warned Not To Celebrate With Their Medals Too Much Because They're Breaking)

While Diabate was being held back byDetroitforwardTobias Harris, Diabate tried to punch Duren, who walked away from the scene. However, Bridges ran after him and tossed a punch, with Duren retaliating with his own. Diabate tried to charge once again at Duren, but was held back.

To make the scene even wackier, Stewart got involved by exiting the bench for a confrontation with Bridges, with the latter throwing a punch at his opponent. From there, the two wrestled. In one portion of the chaos, Stewart had Bridges headlocked and punched him over and over again on the head.

It was chaos, absolutely beautiful chaos.

NEED TO KNOW

• A retired farmer from Victoria, Australia is recalling the injuries he received when he was attacked by a kangaroo

• Col told Melbourne radio station 3AW that the animal "headbutted" and "punched" him in the incident

• The man also said he was "very lucky" to be alive, likening his injuries to those typically associated with a "car crash"

An Australian man is recovering from serious injuries after being viciously attacked by a kangaroo.

Retired farmer Col was hanging out at his friend's house when the attack took place, he told the Melbourne radio show,3AW Drive, on Tuesday, Feb. 10. The pair heard Col's friend's dog barking. and, sensing something was wrong, went in search of the animal. They found the dog barking at a kangaroo, but weren't able to get away before the kangaroo approached.

"We drove across the paddock to the dam, and the kangaroo was standing up … leaning back on their tail trying to grab us. So I hit him with a stick, and he jumped into the dam," said Col.

"He just came out of the water like a bl---y rocket and headbutted me in the face and punched the c--- out of me," he recalled. "...I've gone onto my back, and when I stood up to run away, he's given me … a roundhouse to the back and jumped on me and grabbed my head … he wouldn't let go."

Col was seen in photos with large claw marks and bruising on his back, a bloody bandaged head, and scratches on his arms. His blood-covered shirt was also torn in the attack. Col added that the kangaroo clawed him three inches deep on both sides of the stomach.

Col said his friend "got a shovel and hit" the kangaroo, causing it to let go of him as he jumped back in the dam. He was then sent to the hospital, where he remained for six hours as his injuries were treated, per3AW Drive.

Col likened his injuries to those typically received in a "car crash" and said that he is "very lucky" to be alive.

"It was really quick. A lot of Injuries for probably 25 seconds of work," he said. "I am very lucky. If I hadn't rolled onto my stomach, I would have been in a lot worse way."

According to theUniversity of Melbourne, a kangaroo may sometimes see the upright stance of humans "as a threat" and they "may lash out in self-defence if we approach."

"An adult male kangaroo may view our stance as a serious challenge, and if large and confident, may escalate and attack," the university added.
