In early January 2026, Russia intensified its military campaign against Ukraine, launching over 200 drones and 20 Iskander missiles at key cities, severely damaging energy infrastructure and leaving many urban areas without power and heating. The attacks have significantly impacted civilian life and strained Ukraine's military capabilities, with 1.5% of residential buildings in Kyiv lacking heating as of January 13. The ongoing strikes aim to cripple Ukraine's operational capacity and logistics.
