Russian forces initiated a significant attack on Ukraine on Sat, Jan 24, resulting in at least one fatality and injuring four individuals in Kyiv. Approximately 1.2 million properties are without power nationwide. According to Kyiv's military administration, there were strikes in at least four districts within the capital, affecting a medical facility. The attack targeted both the capital and four northern and eastern regions. The northeastern suburb of Troyeshchyna in Kyiv was notably affected, with 600 buildings lacking power, water, and heating. Ukraine’s Air Force reported the deployment of 375 drones and 21 missiles, including two Tsirkon ballistic missiles. In Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, 30 individuals were injured during the attack, including a child. The attack involved 25 drones impacting several districts, including a dormitory for displaced persons and two medical facilities. Energy disruptions persist, with over 800,000 households in Kyiv and an additional 400,000 in the Chernihiv region without power. Deputy Prime Minister Oleksii Kuleba noted that over 3,200 buildings in Kyiv remain without heat, despite improvements throughout the day. Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha condemned the attack, attributing it to Russian President Vladimir Putin. In Russia, the Belgorod region experienced a significant attack by Ukrainian forces, impacting energy infrastructure but resulting in no casualties. The Russian Ministry of Defence announced the capture of the village of Starytsya in Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region.
Ukraine and Russia concluded two days of US-brokered talks in Abu Dhabi without reaching a peace agreement, with further discussions anticipated the following weekend. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy highlighted the discussions’ focus on potential parameters to end the conflict, without indicating proximity to an agreement. A US official indicated that additional discussions might occur in Moscow or Kyiv and suggested the possibility of direct talks between Putin and Zelenskyy. Face-to-face engagement between Ukraine and Russia occurred in Abu Dhabi, addressing elements of peace framework discussions. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs suggested further negotiations could take place in Istanbul following the Abu Dhabi talks.
