Key Developments from Day 1,433 of Russia’s War on Ukraine
On Tuesday, January 27, Russian forces launched a drone and missile attack on Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city. According to Mayor Ihor Terekhov, at least two people were injured as a result of the attack. The assault also caused damage to apartment buildings, a school, and a kindergarten in the city.
Regional Governor Oleh Syniehubov reported that 80 percent of Kharkiv and surrounding regions lost power following the attack. In another incident, fragments from a destroyed drone fell on the city of Slavyansk-on-Kuban, causing fires at two business enterprises.
Russia’s Ministry of Defence stated that air defence systems intercepted and destroyed 40 Ukrainian drones overnight, including 34 in the Krasnodar region.
Talks between Ukrainian and Russian negotiators are scheduled to resume on February 1. President Zelenskyy announced this in his regular evening address, urging Ukraine’s allies not to weaken their pressure on Moscow ahead of the expected talks.
In a separate post on X, Zelenskyy mentioned that military issues were discussed at trilateral talks with the US and Russia over the weekend in Abu Dhabi. He also noted that political issues were addressed during these discussions.
The Kremlin stated that the issue of territory remains fundamental to Russia when it comes to reaching a deal to end the fighting. Moscow has insisted that for the war to end, Russia must take control of all of Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced plans to summon Ukraine’s ambassador over alleged attempts by Kyiv to interfere in Hungary’s parliamentary election scheduled for April 12.
