Russia conducted large-scale attacks using over 450 drones and 71 missiles targeting energy facilities in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Vinnytsia, and Odesa regions on February 2-3, leading to significant power outages and at least one civilian death from glide bombs. Ukrainian President Zelensky noted the strain on air defenses, prompting measures like disrupting Russian Starlink access. A top Russian general involved in Ukraine intelligence was shot in Moscow on February 6.
Ukrainian General Staff reported strikes on Kapustin Yar missile test range using domestically-produced FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles, damaging infrastructure. North Korean troops remain active in Kursk Oblast, conducting artillery shelling on Ukrainian border communities. US and Russia reestablished military-to-military hotlines following Abu Dhabi talks and a 314-prisoner exchange, though no ceasefire progress.
These strikes heighten Ukraine's energy crisis risks, potentially disrupting civilian life and military operations with minimal direct regional spillover. The Moscow incident signals escalating hybrid warfare, possibly hardening Russian resolve. EU proposed new sanctions banning services for Russian oil exports. Next steps include monitoring Russian follow-on strikes; gaps persist on FP-5 damage assessments and NK force scale.
