Ukraine parliament and half of Kyiv lose heating after Russian missile strikes

What happened: Russian missile attacks have cut heating to Ukraine's parliament and around half of Kyiv, according to President Zelensky. He also noted an increase in the use of ballistic missiles by Russia.

Why it matters:

  • Heating loss affects government operations and residents during cold weather.
  • Increased missile attacks raise concerns over civilian safety and infrastructure damage.

MNN Take: The missile strikes have targeted key infrastructure, disrupting essential services in Kyiv. The escalation in missile use signals a more intense phase of the conflict.
