Diptota Dey, Ukraine: Russia keeps up its fierce attacks on Ukraine even as peace talks in Abu Dhabi wrap up with no big wins. Overnight strikes blasted Kyiv and Kharkiv, killing one person and hurting at least 35 others, while talks between Ukraine, Russia and the US ended on January 24, 2026. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the chats “constructive” and floated more meetings next week. But with drones and missiles targeting power grids in freezing weather, Ukraine slams Russia for mocking the peace push. This Russia Ukraine war latest news has sparked huge online anger, showing no quick end to the fight.

Two days of high-stakes huddle in UAE ended flat: no ceasefire blueprint, territory deadlock reigns. Russia unleashed missiles/drones anyway—370+ threats downed but civvy hits killed one, hurt dozens in freezing -12C chill. Zelensky calls chats “constructive,” eyes next week; Putin silent on Trump “peace board” invite. Social storms rage with X polls slamming Moscow sabotage (90% users).

Details & Context

Kyiv: One fatality, four wounded (three hospitalized); power infra wrecked, 6,000 homes sans heat. Mayor Klitschko Telegrammed semi-trucks torched, fires across Dnipro. Kharkiv endured 2+ hour barrage: 31 injured, maternity hospital, IDP hostel smashed. Zelensky nailed targets: “Energy grids in killer cold.”

Talks deets: First trilateral since 2022 invasion. Rustem Umerov led Ukraine; focus “war-end params, US oversight.” Sides report to bosses; military lists next agenda—Ukraine game for weekly meets. RIA says Russia open; but Donbas/Crimea grabs (20% land) block path—Anchorage formula haunts. Pre-talks: Witkoff/Kushner met Putin; he pushes “diplomatic settlement.” X buzz: Drone strike clips viral, 10M plays.

The two-day talks in Abu Dhabi – the first three-way meet since Russia’s 2022 invasion – focused on ending the war but hit a wall over land. Russia holds about 20% of Ukraine, like Donbas and Crimea and wants more territory but Ukraine says no. US President Donald Trump backed the talks with his “Board of Peace” idea but Putin hasn’t joined yet. Zelensky said all sides will check with bosses and maybe talk again soon.

Right after day one, Russia unleashed a huge attack: 375 drones and 21 missiles hit cities. In Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported one death, four injuries and damage knocking out heat for 6,000 buildings in -12°C cold. Kharkiv’s Mayor Ihor Terekhov said 31 people hurt with hits on a baby hospital and displaced folks’ shelter. Zelensky noted energy was the main target, worsening blackouts.

On X, real-time posts captured the chaos. @maria_avdv tweeted about skies full of drones and explosions in Kharkiv, getting over 1K likes. @OstapYarysh called it Putin mocking peace with 1.3K likes. These shares show how Russia continues Ukraine attacks fuel global outrage.
