Lviv. Russia fired a powerful hypersonic missile overnight at a target in Ukraine near the border with NATO-member Poland on Jan. 9. The Oreshnik is an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) designed to project power across Europe.

At least 1 million Ukrainians were without heat or water in the Dnipropetrovsk region after Russian strikes overnight damaged energy infrastruture.

The war in Ukraine has lasted for nearly four years now, and Russian losses continue to be sky-high. According to estimates from Ukraine’s General Staff, the Russian army lost more than 410,000 troops in 2025,

Russian strikes late on Wednesday knocked out power supplies almost entirely in two regions of southeastern Ukraine, the energy ministry said.

Russia's overnight attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure leaves nearly 800,000 homes without power amid freezing winter temperatures across the country.

NATO allies in the Coalition of the Willing are planning security guarantees for Ukraine once Russia's war is over.
