‘Psychological war on society’: Russia plunges Ukraine into darkness
AI Summary
Following recent large-scale Russian aerial strikes targeting Ukraine's infrastructure in January 2026, Kyiv is experiencing widespread blackouts and heating outages, with temperatures well below freezing. Approximately half of the capital's homes are without power, prompting President Zelenskyy to declare a state of emergency in the energy sector. The attacks, which included drones and ballistic missiles, have plunged key buildings like the Parliament into darkness and caused water pipes to burst due to freezing temperatures. Despite the challenging conditions, young people in Kyiv are gathering in cafes and bars powered by generators to maintain morale. The United Nations has condemned the strikes as a violation of international law, with Zelenskyy accusing Russia of weaponizing the cold.
