Russian strikes on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, left over 5,600 high-rise buildings in Kyiv, Ukraine, without heat in subfreezing temperatures. Ukrainian authorities reported that the attacks, part of an intensified campaign, are intended to break the country's morale and force submission. President Zelensky stated Russia launched numerous missiles and drones across the country, with Kyiv experiencing the most difficult situation. The mayor of Kyiv noted that many buildings had just regained heat after a previous attack on January 8, and part of the city was also without water. Authorities are working to restore services, deploying mobile kitchens and warming tents as schools are closed until February.
