Russia continues to pound Ukraine's energy grid, killing at least two people and wounding six in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The attacks also targeted infrastructure in Odesa, with a fire reported but quickly extinguished.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that repairing Ukraine's damaged energy system was a "challenging" task, but vowed to do everything possible to restore power as quickly as possible. Ukrainian strikes have left hundreds of thousands without electricity, with over 200 drones launched across the country.
In occupied southern Ukraine, Russian forces reported widespread damage to power networks from Ukrainian drone strikes, leaving nearly 400 settlements without electricity. Meanwhile, crews began repairing a backup power line connecting the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, under a ceasefire brokered by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez warned that any US military action against Denmark's Arctic territory could make Vladimir Putin "the happiest man on Earth." Sanchez argued that such an invasion would damage Nato and legitimize Russia's attempt to invade Ukraine.
Ukraine is set to continue talks with US officials at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Negotiator Rustem Umerov said two days of discussions had focused on security guarantees and a post-war recovery plan for Ukraine.
The ongoing conflict has left two people dead, widespread destruction, and over 200,000 households without power in occupied southern Ukraine. The situation remains dire, with the international community urging caution and diplomacy to bring an end to the bloodshed.

this is getting so crazy... russia's been pummeling ukraine's energy grid like it's nobody's business 
, leaving innocent people stuck in darkness without power 
. i'm not sure how much more of this we can take - two whole days lost to talks, and what do we have to show for it? 
a bunch of empty promises from sanchez about nato and security guarantees? 
meanwhile, ukraine's just trying to pick up the pieces and get back online 
. can't we all just talk this out like civilized humans? 
it's just devastating to think about innocent people losing their lives and homes due to this ongoing conflict. I mean, two people are already dead and six others wounded in Dnipropetrovsk region alone, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. And with hundreds of thousands still without electricity, it's like they're living in a dark age... 
, I'm so done with all these talks about war & diplomacy. Like, what's the rush? Can't we just let Russia do whatever they want in Ukraine? 
I mean, Putin's already got everyone wrapped around his finger... why bother trying to stop him now? 
Plus, think about how much money the US would save on all these fancy military ops. They could just invest that cash into fixing Ukraine's energy grid instead 
. And honestly, Spain's PM is totally right – if we invade Russia's Arctic territory, it'll just make Putin win 
... and who doesn't love a good underdog story? 
they're gonna keep pumping their energy grid till people can see them coming out of a cave or something ... 2 lives lost, 6 wounded already? what's next, innocent civilians caught in the crossfire? and that spanish prime minister trying to psyche up putin, geez... "the happiest man on earth"? sounds like a bad movie title 
ukraine needs our support now more than ever...
️, and it's crazy to think about how many lives are being affected. Meanwhile, Putin is just enjoying the drama from the sidelines 
... or so Sanchez says 
. I hope these talks in Davos can bring some hope for a peaceful resolution, but I'm not holding my breath 
. The world is watching, and we gotta keep calling out our leaders to do what's right 
.
it's just too much for anyone to handle. the images of power grids being bombed and innocent people getting hurt are just devastating 
. i can only imagine how hard it must be for the ppl of Ukraine, living in constant fear and uncertainty 
. this war is not just about politics or geo-strategy, it's about human lives and dignity 
.
Russia's attacks on Ukraine are just brutal 
. And the damage to the energy grid is massive 
. Like, hundreds of thousands without electricity? That's just crazy! 
. They're already suffering so much, and now this... it's just devastating 
. It's not just about Ukraine, though - it's about the world too 
.
That's just not cool 
. It's like, let's focus on solving this problem together 
. I wish there was a way for all of us to come together and find a peaceful solution 
this is getting way too intense... Russia's attacks on Ukraine's energy grid are devastating lives and leaving people without power for who knows how long... at least 2 people dead already & it could be many more if they can't get their power back on ASAP 
Let's hope that Ukraine and the international community can come together to find a peaceful solution soon.
. Russia's been at it for ages, and it feels like we're stuck in some never-ending nightmare. I mean, two people dead, six wounded... that's just heartbreaking. And it's not just the casualties, it's the whole country being torn apart. I'm watching those drone videos from Ukraine, and I can only imagine how terrifying it must be to live there right now 
. Only instead of spies in trench coats, it's leaders in three-piece suits making deals that could change the course of history.
.
That's just devastating. And it's not like they're stopping there, either - they keep targeting infrastructure in Odesa too. 
But the worst part is that innocent civilians are losing power and heat, especially in southern Ukraine where nearly 400 settlements are without electricity 
.
. We need to focus on diplomacy and finding a way to end this conflict ASAP 
.
but it's like, super challengin 
tho, can't just sit back & watch Russia get away w/ dis 
. Denmark & Arctic territory? Like wut does that even have 2 do w/ Ukraine? 
and what's with all these attacks on energy grids? is this really necessary? can't we all just talk things out and find a peaceful solution? 
and innocent ppl get hurt 
. We need a better way to stop this before it gets worse!
