Russia launched a mass aerial attack on Ukraine overnight Jan. 24, killing at least one person and injuring others, while causing widespread damage to energy infrastructure.
In Kyiv, one person was killed and four others injured during the attack. Explosions were first heard at 1:20 a.m. local time, according to Kyiv Independent journalists on the ground, who reported blasts throughout the night, including the interception of a ballistic missile.
The Ukrainian Air Force tallied 396 aerial weapons, including 21 missiles and 375 drones. Hypersonic "Tsirkon" missiles, ballistic Iskander missiles, and Kh-22/Kh-32 cruise missiles were used.
The attacks continued Russia’s targeting of Ukraine's energy infrastructure, worsening an ongoing winter energy crisis following similar mass attacks on Jan. 9 and Jan. 20.

From the photos and videos I’ve seen, its more like 15% of buildings in Kiev remain WITH heat.
It’s a good thing Ukraine is winning or things could get bad.
Vlad is finally taking a glove off, they play the long game. One week western shock and awe has never been Russian doctrine. Russia saves the “ best” for last…..attrition is something the West could not stomach since WW2.
Post war analysis will uncover all the western MSM lies and omissions. The western Neo cons are learning a lesson….no tears.
It’s a good thing Ukraine is winning or things could get bad.….and Vlad will be running out of missiles, ammunition, manpower and money any day now.
Bad Vlad is good for your precious metals prices.
Russian pyrrhic victory.
After almost 4 years, Russia has advanced a paltry 60 kilometers, resulting in more than a million Russian casualties.
Maybe the EU will rush right in there with their 30 troops and save the day.
LOL, saves its "best". Okay
A Russian commander is “teaching” his subordinates military discipline in the Russian army
This time, new recruits were tied upside down to a tree as punishment for abandoning their combat positions out of fear of being killed.
“Vlad is finally taking a glove off, they play the long game.”
...He waited until after more than a million Russian casualties, just to have the satisfaction of a supposed surprise? Scrapped all the stored tanks from the Soviet Union, emptied out the National Wealth Fund and gold reserves, sacrificed Gazprom, Rosneft and Lukoil; Russia’s clients in Syria, Armenia, Venezuela and (soon) Iran; just to make it look hard?
Nonsense.
Russia has been driven over a cliff by Putin’s mismanagement.
Losses among senior commanders occurred both on the front lines and far from the battlefield. In the early months of the war, several generals were killed by sniper fire or artillery strikes. Since then, others have died as a result of strikes on headquarters, acts of sabotage and explosions inside Russia, and incidents involving aviation. In 2022, the deaths of Generals Andrei Sukhovetsky, Oleg Mityaev, Vladimir Frolov, Andrei Simonov, Kanamat Botashev, and Roman Kutuzov were recorded. In subsequent years, the list grew to include notable names such as Sergei Goryachev, Oleg Tsokov, and Vladimir Zavadsky.

You have a short or selective memory. The Ukie Neo Nazis locked Russians in the Trade Center in Odessa, and burned them alive. That event in May 2014 sparked off this civil war. Russians have long memories.
Funny how ALL the ethnic clashes started AFTER Putin seized Crimea.
it’s a lie and a trick.... they mean RUSSIA has no electrical power or natural gas.... Ukraine is crushing Ivan.
Ukraine is taking back all of the land and really destroying all the Russian infrastructure.... right?
“… this civil war…”
It’s not a civil war. It’s an invasion by the Rooskies.
Hit your head with a hammer a couple of times until you see and think straight.
So what? Ever read any histories of the Russian military? Mistreating their soldiers isn’t anything new. Yeah, the Russians are brutal but explain how it helps Ukraine.
Yes, but it’s the Russian way. They got plenty more lives to spend than Ukraine. Kindly explain how you think Ukraine is going to win.
