Overview
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the next trilateral talks will take place Feb. 4–5 in Abu Dhabi after an earlier round produced no progress on territory.
- Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev held a preparatory meeting in Florida with U.S. envoys, which Steve Witkoff described as constructive.
- Ukraine reported no targeted strikes on energy infrastructure in the last 24 hours under a short pause requested by President Donald Trump, though Kyiv and Moscow differ on the truce’s timeframe.
- Russian attacks persisted on civilians and logistics, including a drone strike on a DTEK miners' bus near Ternivka that killed at least 12 and wounded seven, and a hit on a Zaporizhzhia maternity hospital that injured at least six.
- Officials said a widespread Kyiv-area outage stemmed from interconnection failures likely linked to severe weather as repair work continues during extreme cold, with temporary Starlink limits imposed to curb drone operations.
