Ukraine's two largest cities under Russian attack, officials say one dead

Russian strikes killed one person and injured at least 31 others, leaving 1.2 million without power amid peace talks aimed at ending the four-year conflict.

  • On January 24, 2026, Russian missile and drone barrages struck Kyiv, Ukraine and Kharkiv, Ukraine, killing one and wounding four in Kyiv.
  • Russia has intensified strikes on energy infrastructure amid its nearly four-year invasion, leaving more than 1.2 million properties without power and demanding Kyiv withdraw from parts of the Donbas.
  • The air force reported over 370 attack drones and 21 missiles struck Kharkiv, damaging a maternity hospital and dormitory, while over 6,000 apartment buildings in Kyiv lost heating and power.
  • Emergency workers are restoring services amid temperatures around-10 Celsius, as Zelenskyy said, `Every such Russian strike on our energy infrastructure proves that there must be no delays in supplying air defenses`.
  • As trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi continued, Ukrainian officials called the two days of discussions `constructive` and said delegations will report to capitals and focus on a revised 20-point peace plan with next meetings potentially as soon as next week.
