A large Russian aerial strike on Ukraine overnight has left a million people in Kyiv without power, including half of the city's residential buildings and the Ukrainian parliament, leaving them without heating and water. The strikes, which targeted Kyiv, Dnipro, and Odesa, resulted in at least four deaths and 33 injuries across Ukraine between Monday and Tuesday. According to Mayor Klitschko, almost 80% of the affected buildings had just had their heating restored following a previous attack on January 9th. President Zelensky said that repelling the attack cost Ukraine approximately €80m in air defense missiles alone and has cancelled his trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos. Temperatures in Ukraine remain below freezing, causing further infrastructure damage.
