Kyiv hit again as truce collapses in deep cold
Russia has resumed strikes on Kyiv, Ukrainian officials have said, as a week-long truce announced by US President Donald Trump has given way torenewed attacks in freezing conditions.
Trump said on Thursday that Russian President Vladimir Putin had agreed to halt strikes on Kyiv and "various towns" during cold weather. Ukraine said Moscow had continued its attacks.
Kyiv was struck "in the bitter cold with another massive strike" overnight, Tymur Tkachenko, head of the city's military administration, said on Telegram. He urged residents to stay in shelters and later said two people were wounded.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Tuesday that 1,170 residential buildings in the capital were left without heating after the strikes resumed.
In the eastern city of Kharkiv, two people were wounded by Russian shelling, regional military chief Oleg Synegubov said. The hours-long attack targeted energy infrastructure and aimed to "cause maximum destruction... and leave the city without heat during severe frost," he wrote.
Authorities cut heating to more than 800 homes to prevent the wider network from freezing, Synegubov said, urging residents to use round-the-clock "invincibility points" if they needed to warm up. Such points provide heat, water, electricity, mobile communication, and other services to residents during wartime blackout.
