Russian Strikes Disrupt Kyiv's Energy Amid Cold, Impact Nuclear Facilities

A major Russian missile and drone attack on January 20, 2026, targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure, leaving over a million households in Kyiv without power, heating, and water amid freezing temperatures. The strikes killed at least four people and affected critical nuclear-related facilities, including the Chornobyl plant. Ukrainian officials condemned the attacks as attempts to break civilian morale and urged Western allies for increased air defense support. President Zelenskiy called for stronger U.S. pressure on Russia and highlighted ongoing diplomatic efforts.
