Fz Khan, Abu Dhabi: Ukraine is firing back hard at Russia’s latest brutal attacks that killed one person and hurt 23 more overnight, right before day two of big peace talks in Abu Dhabi. These strikes hit key spots like energy plants, leaving thousands without heat in freezing weather. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called them “brutal” and said they smack the peace process in the face. With US President Donald Trump pushing his “Board of Peace” idea, teams from Ukraine, Russia and the US are chatting for the first time since the 2022 invasion. But land fights stay stuck – Russia wants big chunks of Ukraine and Kyiv says no way. As of January 24, 2026, the war rages on with fresh hits, sparking global outcry and online buzz.

Fresh Russian fury lit up Ukraine’s skies early Saturday, Jan 24, 2026—370 drones and 21 missiles slammed cities as three-way talks in Abu Dhabi hit day two. One dead in Kyiv, 19 hurt in Kharkiv; hospitals, shelters hit in sub-zero chill. Social buzz on X calls it “cynical sabotage,” with Zelensky live-tweeting defenses downing most threats. Progress hinted on peace parameters but territory stalls everything.

Details & Context

Strikes zeroed in on power grids and civvy spots: Kyiv’s mayor Vitali Klitschko reported one fatality, four wounded (three hospitalized), 6,000 homes iced without heat. Fires raged across the Dnipro River; critical infra wrecked. Kharkiv took 25 drones over 2.5 hours—maternity ward, IDP hostel, hospital damaged; 19 injured, firefighters battled blazes till dawn.

Abu Dhabi hosts first US-Russia-Ukraine huddle since 2022 invasion: Trump’s team brokers, Russia eyes Donbas buffer zones. Day 1 wrapped with Ukraine’s Rustem Umerov tweeting focus on “ending war logic.” Putin reportedly joins Trump’s “Board of Peace,” unconfirmed; talks drag on territory—Russia holds 20% land. X threads dissect drone footage, trending #AbuDhabiTalks with 2M impressions.

The nightmare started early Saturday when Russian forces blasted Kyiv and Kharkiv with missiles and drones. In Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported one death and four injuries with three needing hospital care. The hits wrecked power lines, knocking out heat for 6,000 buildings in sub-zero cold. Over in Kharkiv, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said 19 folks got hurt, including damage to a baby hospital and a shelter for homeless people. President Volodymyr Zelensky pointed out the main target was energy stuff, making life tougher in winter.

This comes amid trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi – Ukraine, Russia and the US sitting down for real chats since the war kicked off. Day one wrapped with some small wins but the big headache is territory. Russia holds about 20% of Ukraine, like parts of Donbas and demands more land. Ukraine won’t budge. Trump’s team is mediating with his “Board of Peace” pitch inviting Putin – though Putin hasn’t said yes yet.

Social media is lit up. On X, @SkyNews shared a video of UK defense chief slamming Putin’s peace talk hypocrisy while attacks ramp up, getting 222 likes and 64K views. Another post from @NOELreports detailed drone hits on Kyiv’s Qatar Embassy with photos and videos racking up 207 likes and 48K views. These real-time shares show how the Ukraine Russia war latest news spreads fast, boosting calls for stronger action.
