Russia resumes strikes on freezing Ukrainian capital
Cape Argus
|February 04, 2026
RUSSIA resumed strikes on Kyiv yesterday, Ukrainian officials said, as a brief truce announced by US President Donald Trump gave way to renewed attacks in freezing conditions.
-
Trump said last week that Russian President Vladimir Putin had agreed to stop striking Kyiv and “various towns” during cold weather.
The Kremlin said the truce would last until Sunday but did not link it to the subzero temperatures.
Ukraine said Moscow had kept up its strikes anyway.
Russia hit Kyiv “in the bitter cold with another massive strike” overnight, Tymur Tkachenko, the head of the city’s military administration, said Tuesday on Telegram.
The emergency services said in a later post that three people in Kyiv had been wounded.
In the eastern city of Kharkiv, two people were wounded by Russian shelling, regional military chief Oleg Synegubov said.
