Early on Saturday, Russia launched a massive drone and missile attack targeting Ukraine’s largest cities, Kyiv and Kharkiv. The strikes caused power and heat outages during a cold January, worsening an energy crisis for many residents. Kyiv officials reported one person dead and at least 15 injured, with fires breaking out in several buildings. Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said, “Currently, one person is known to have died and four to have been wounded,” adding that three of the injured were hospitalized. The attacks hit energy infrastructure, interrupting heat and water services for thousands. About 1,940 residential buildings remained without heating, and nearly 600,000 residents temporarily left Kyiv amid the crisis. Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv’s military administration, said strikes hit four districts, including a medical facility. In Kharkiv, Mayor Ihor Terekhov confirmed 25 drones attacked several districts over two and a half hours, injuring at least 14 people. The strikes hit a dormitory for displaced persons, a hospital, and a maternity hospital, Terekhov said on Telegram. These attacks came while US, Ukrainian, and Russian negotiators met in the United Arab Emirates for the second day of peace talks. Despite talks, Russia insists on controlling the eastern Donbas region, raising questions about its commitment to peace.
