Energy crisis

  • Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram that 454 residential buildings remain without heating in Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, with temperatures forecast to drop to -23 degrees Celsius (-9.4 degrees Fahrenheit) overnight this week.
  • President Zelenskyy said on Thursday he expected the implementation of an agreement by Russia not to fire on Kyiv and other cities for a week because of the severe winter weather, and as announced by United States President Donald Trump.

  • “Our teams discussed this in the United Arab Emirates. We expect the agreements to be implemented,” Zelenskyy wrote on social media. “De-escalation steps contribute to real progress toward ending the war,” he added.

  • Trump said earlier that Russian President Vladimir Putin had agreed not to fire on Kyiv for a week due to freezing winter conditions.

  • “I personally asked President Putin not to fire into Kyiv and various towns for a week, and he agreed to do that,” Trump said at a cabinet meeting, citing the “extraordinary cold” in the region.

  • Medinsky said the “bodies of 38 dead Russian soldiers have been transferred to Russia”.
  • Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Moscow has not yet seen the ceasefire document that Ukraine refers to as a 20-point plan, adding that he believes it has been “reworked” by Ukraine and its allies. “We still haven’t seen it in its entirety,” he said.
