After the massive missile and drone attack by the Russian Federation on the night of January 24, the Ukrainian government has focused its efforts on overcoming the aftermath of the shelling, paying special attention to homes that have been without heating for an extended period, as well as supporting individuals with limited mobility.
Consequences of the Shelling: Injuries and Destruction
In Kharkiv, more than 30 people were injured as a result of the strike. In Kyiv, Russian troops deliberately targeted civilian infrastructure and energy facilities. One woman has been reported dead, and two others have been injured. Rescue services, energy workers, and utility workers are tirelessly working at the affected sites to restore damaged systems.
“In Kharkiv, over 30 people have been injured. In Kyiv, the Russians again targeted civilian infrastructure and energy facilities. One woman has died; my condolences to the family of the deceased. Two more people have been injured. Rescuers, energy workers, and utility workers are continuously working on-site to restore services,” she noted.
Energy Restoration and Government Measures
Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko reported that the government is doing everything possible to restore light and heat to Ukrainians as quickly as possible. Operational restoration of damaged electricity generation facilities is already underway, electricity imports have been increased, and new alternative capacities are being introduced.
On the night of January 24, Kyiv suffered a massive attack involving drones and missiles, resulting in destruction and damage reported in five districts of the capital. One death and four injuries have been confirmed. The Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that 15 missiles and 357 drones were shot down during the attack. Strikes from two missiles and 18 attack drones were recorded at 17 locations, with debris from downed drones falling in another 12 places.
Russian troops regularly shell Ukrainian regions with various types of weaponry, including attack drones, missiles, guided aerial bombs, and multiple launch rocket systems. At the same time, Russian leadership denies targeting civilian infrastructure, despite numerous evidence of destruction of hospitals, schools, kindergartens, energy facilities, and water supply systems.
Ukrainian authorities and international organizations regard these actions as war crimes and emphasize their deliberate nature.
