Russia's war on Ukraine: A Day in Review - January 24, 2026
It has been 1,430 days since Russia launched its military operation against Ukraine. The conflict shows no signs of slowing down as the world struggles to come to terms with the humanitarian crisis unfolding before our eyes.
The past day saw multiple instances of violence and retaliation between Russian forces and Ukrainian civilians. Cherkasy in Ukraine's Donetsk region bore the brunt of this violence, with four people killed and five injured after a series of Russian attacks. In response, 109 evacuees were relocated from the region to safety.
Russian forces also shelled several settlements in the region, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. The situation is becoming increasingly dire as Ukraine's energy infrastructure continues to be targeted by Russia, leading to power outages across the country.
Meanwhile, talks between Ukrainian and Russian officials continued in Abu Dhabi under a trilateral format involving the US. However, it remains unclear whether significant progress will be made during these negotiations.
The stakes are high as the world watches with bated breath for any sign of resolution in this conflict. The people of Ukraine continue to bear the brunt of this war, facing unimaginable hardship and suffering at the hands of Russian aggression.
In related news, reports have emerged that Russia has been using drones to target civilian areas, including Kherson city and several villages in the region. The international community is growing increasingly frustrated with Russia's tactics, which have led to a significant escalation in hostilities.
As this situation continues to unfold, it remains clear that there can be no easy solution to the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Diplomatic efforts must continue until a lasting peace is achieved for the people of Ukraine who are fighting for their lives amidst the ruins of war-torn cities.

. The way the information is presented, with multiple sections and bullet points, it's like they're trying to overwhelm us with facts 
. Can't we have a simple, easy-to-follow summary? I mean, I get that it's complex and there are a lot of moving parts, but can't we just break it down into smaller chunks? 
It feels like the news is just dumping all this information on us at once, without giving us a chance to process it.
. I wish they'd focus more on telling the story behind the stats, and less on just listing them out. 
1,430 days is like, so long 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. The violence in Cherkasy was brutal 
Those 109 evacuees are lucky they got out alive 
The talks in Abu Dhabi are a start, but I'm so tired of hearing "it's complex" 
Can we please just get some progress?! 
And those drones? Russia's using them to target civilian areas? That's just awful 
. We need to do something about this ASAP.
what's next? are we gonna see more drone attacks or what?! i'm literally watching from my screen as people lose their homes & lives. it's just too much 
we need to find a way out of this before it gets even worse. can't these diplomats talk straight for once?! 
think we need to hear from the ukrainians themselves about what's really going on on the ground, not just the diplomats 
The fact that 109 evacuees were relocated from Cherkasy to safety is a glimmer of hope, but we can't ignore the devastating consequences of Russia's actions - power outages across the country are unacceptable 
It's clear that diplomatic efforts must continue until a lasting peace is achieved for the Ukrainian people 
.
. The US and Ukraine are clearly trying to find a way out of this mess, but Russia is just throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks 
. It's like they're intentionally making things worse for themselves.
. The people of Ukraine are literally fighting for their lives over there, and it feels so... pointless 
.
U know what's wild? The fact that despite all this chaos, there r still so many ppl willin to help out & make a difference! Like, those 109 evacuees who were relocated from Cherkasy? They got to go stay in safety & get the care they need. That's what I call hope 
The fact that people r still tryin' to find ways 2 bring peace is what gets me, u feel?
... Does anyone know how they can get food and water in those areas? It must be so hard 
... And what's with all these drones? Can't they just use regular planes like everyone else? 
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has been lingering on for far too long, with no end in sight 
. 
. Diplomatic efforts are crucial at this point, but it's hard to see how progress can be made when the situation seems so entrenched 
.
. It's essential that we support the Ukrainian people and continue to push for a lasting peace resolution 
4300+ days is like forever! 
the ppl r suffering so much, its not even fair 
we need to keep supporting Ukraine thru diplomacy & aid, lets hope these talks in Abu Dhabi lead to somethin good 
but at least its good 2 know that evakuations are happening & ppl r getting help 
we gotta keep supporting ukraine & ur people thru dis tough time
