Russia launched missiles and drones at Kyiv early Friday morning, affecting power and water supplies and injuring nine individuals, as reported by Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko. The assault targeted energy infrastructure around Kyiv, causing a fire in a high-rise apartment building. Drone fragments were reported in various areas of the city. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicated on Thursday that Moscow's continuous attacks on essential Ukrainian infrastructure aim to create disorder and exert psychological pressure. Russian forces conducted at least seven drone attacks on Zaporizhzhia in southeastern Ukraine on Thursday, resulting in one child's death and injuring at least three individuals, according to the regional governor. Authorities in the front-line cities of Kramatorsk and Sloviansk in the Donetsk region have called for the evacuation of children due to a rise in drone attacks. A Ukrainian drone attack in Russia's Volgograd region caused fires at several energy facilities due to falling debris.
Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine's prime minister, the head of the presidential office, and a senior sanctions adviser are scheduled to meet with President Trump in the United States next week to discuss air defense, energy, and sanctions. Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed that two Russian anti-aircraft missiles exploded near an Azerbaijan Airlines flight last year, resulting in the crash that killed 38 people. Conflicting explanations were previously provided for the December 25 plane crash, including adverse weather conditions and a malfunctioning air defense system targeting Ukrainian drones. US President Donald Trump stated that the US would defend Finland, a NATO ally, against potential Russian aggression, although he expressed doubt about such an event occurring. This statement followed an agreement for Finland to support the US Coast Guard in acquiring 11 icebreaker ships for Arctic patrols.

The US has imposed sanctions on the Petroleum Industry of Serbia (NIS), a predominantly Russian-owned company operating Serbia's sole oil refinery. Serbia's energy sector is heavily reliant on Russian oil and gas imports, and President Aleksandar Vucic warned that the sanctions will have severe repercussions affecting all citizens.
