- On Thursday, January 29, Russian pro-war publics began to spread information on social networks about the order banning attacks on Ukrainian energy, which came on January 28.
- Volodymyr Zelenskyi, in turn, confirmed that the Ukrainian negotiating team discussed the issue of ending strikes on energy infrastructure in Abu Dhabi.
- Very low temperatures are recorded in Ukraine. As a result of the massive Russian attack on January 24 and damage to critical infrastructure, half of the capital’s housing stock was left without heat supply. As of February 2, there are still more than 200 houses without heating in Kyiv.
- “Ukrenergo” is forced to implement emergency power outages almost every day.
