Here is where things stand on Tuesday, Jan 20, 2026:

Explosions have been reported in Kyiv, with the Ukrainian air force warning of ballistic missile launches by Russia. Russia targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure with drone attacks, affecting power in five regions, according to Ukrainian officials. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that 145 drones were launched by Russia, with 126 intercepted successfully. In the Odesa region, energy and gas infrastructure suffered damage, and one person was injured, as per the regional governor. Ukraine's largest private energy company, DTEK, announced substantial damage to its facility in Odesa, affecting 30,800 households. Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, was struck by missiles, causing significant damage to a critical infrastructure facility, reported by the city's mayor. The Russian Ministry of Defence claimed control over settlements in Zaporizhia and Donetsk regions, though these claims are unverified. Ukraine's armed forces are implementing a new air defense strategy using small groups of interceptor drones, as stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Ukraine's SBU secret service reportedly captured a Russian soldier suspected of executing Ukrainian prisoners of war.

The Czech Republic will not provide Ukraine with light combat planes capable of intercepting Russian drones, as announced by Prime Minister Andrej Babis.

Ukraine's military commander, Oleksandr Syrskii, indicated that Russia is not showing interest in peace talks and is increasing arms production. Kyiv engaged in discussions with US representatives on security and economic issues, with further talks expected at the World Economic Forum in Davos. President Zelenskyy aims to finalize security guarantee documents with the US during the Davos forum. Russian President Vladimir Putin's envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, plans to attend the Davos forum for meetings with the US delegation.

Ukraine faces significant challenges in organizing elections amid damaged infrastructure and displacement, stated by election chief Oleh Didenko. An American man was sentenced to five years in Russia for illegally transporting weapons, with an appeal against the conviction rejected.

The IAEA announced the reconnection of the Ferosplavna-1 power line to Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Ukrainian Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal informed the IAEA about potential Russian strikes on energy facilities. Russia's oil and gas tax revenue is projected to decrease by 46% in January compared to the previous year, impacting war funding. Gaz-System, a Polish pipeline operator, plans to increase gas transmission capacity to Ukraine from February to April.
