“Russia took advantage of the American proposal to pause the strikes for a short period not to support diplomacy, but to simply stockpile missiles and wait for the coldest days of the year, when temperatures in a significant part of Ukraine are -20 and lower,” – Zelensky.

Russia’s largest energy strike of 2026 hit Ukraine overnight into February 3, ending a brief “energy truce.” The attack targeted civilian power and heating infrastructure during sub-zero winter conditions.

Russia launched around 450 attack drones and 71+ missiles. Ukraine’s Air Force claims they intercepted 412 drones and 38 missiles, but volume and weapon mix allowed major damage.

Targets included thermal power plants, Combined Heat and Power facilities, high-voltage substations, and grid nodes across Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Odesa, Vinnytsia, Sumy, and other regions. One major thermal plant in Kharkiv is damaged beyond repair. Over 1,000 Kyiv apartment buildings lost heat as temperatures dropped to -20°C. Similar impacts were felt in the other targeted areas as well.

Weapons used: Iskander-M, S-300, Kh-101 (Tu-95MS/Tu-160), Iskander-K, and Kh-22/Kh-32. Seven supersonic Kh-22/32 were launched, three intercepted. These carry massive warheads and were used against area targets like power plants.

Follow-up “double-tap” strikes hit repair crews and infrastructure, including a 750 kV substation near Kyiv.

White House special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi are expected to discuss a nuclear deal on Friday in Istanbul aimed at staving off an imminent U.S. military attack, two officials from the region who are involved in the effort told the Washington Post.

The Turkish, Qatari and Egyptian Foreign Ministers, as well as counterparts from Saudi Arabia, Oman and Pakistan, are also expected to attend the meeting, with two regional officials stating that Washington’s Arab and Turkish allies are seeking to limit the scope of the talks to Iran’s nuclear program in order to get Iran to “yes.” “If the talks happen, they will stay focused on Iran’s nuclear program,” said one. “And then we will try to find innovative ways to address Washington’s nonnuclear demands.”
