Ukraine-Russia war latest: Ukrainian parliament and 1 million homes in Kyiv without power after Putin’s strikes
Ukraine’s parliament building is among thousands left without electricity, heating and water after Russia’s overnight strikes on Ukraine’s energy grid, officials said.
An estimated one million residents of Kyiv were also without power, water or heating after a major drone and missile strike.
Yaroslav Zhelezniak, a lawmaker from the Holos party, said the parliament’s support office would work remotely on Wednesday due to a lack of water and heating in the building.
Russia has continued to bombard major Ukrainian cities even as envoys for US president Donald Trump and Russian president Vladimir Putin held a two-hour meeting in Davos yesterday to discuss a deal to end Russia’s invasion.
Putin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev claimed the meeting was a success, saying “more and more people understand the fairness of Russia’s position”.
Trump is due to arrive in Davos later today but Volodymyr Zelensky has decided to skit the summit amid the ongoing attacks on Kyiv
