Russia resumed strikes on Kyiv on Tuesday, February 3rd Ukrainian officials said—as a week-long truce announced by U.S. president Donald Trump gave way to renewed attacks in freezing conditions.
Tymur Tkachenko, the head of the city’s military administration urged the capital’s residents to stay in shelters, and said in a later online message that two people had been wounded.
In the eastern city of Kharkiv, two people were wounded by Russian shelling, regional military chief Oleh Syniehubov said.
Syniehubov wrote on Telegram:
The hours-long attack targeted energy infrastructure and aimed to cause maximum destruction and leave the city without heat during severe frost.
Authorities had to cut heating to more than 800 homes to prevent the wider network from freezing, he said, urging people to go to round-the-clock “invincibility points” around the city if they needed to warm up.
