Media: Ukraine's agriculture minister resigns.

The Kyiv Independent's Chris York speaks with Adam Entous, an investigative reporter at The New York Times, about his new investigation into the first year of U.S. President Donald Trump administration's peace efforts to end Russia's war against Ukraine.

A fire broke out at an oil depot in the Russian city of Penza following a Ukrainian drone attack overnight on Jan. 23.

"(Russian) army will number 2.5-3 million. They want to reach all of this by 2030, and, based on their speed, we see that this is possible," Volodymyr Zelensky said.

Describing the plan, which was first floated in December, as a "bundle of documents," President Volodymyr Zelensky said he expects progress to be made in the future.

Kyiv's utilities workers have reconnected 650 high-rise apartment buildings in the past day, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Jan. 23.

"We spoke with President Trump about additional anti-air missiles – the PAC-3s, against ballistics, which are what we need," Volodymyr Zelensky said. "I'm counting on a positive result."

Russia launched 101 drones, including roughly 60 Shahed-type deep-strike unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), into Ukraine overnight, the Air Force said.

"We are interested in resolving the (war) through political and diplomatic means. But until that happens, Russia will continue to pursue its goals on the battlefield," Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said.

The number includes 1,280 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.

"Just last year, here in Davos, I ended my speech by saying Europe needs to know how to defend itself. A year has passed, and nothing has changed," Zelensky said.

"He said he'd like to make a deal. ... He came and he said he wants to make a deal," Trump said. He mentioned the "tough" situation Ukrainians face amid a worsening energy crisis, without bringing up Russia's attacks on critical infrastructure.

Heating was restored to 227 buildings overnight for the second time in two weeks after two massive Russian attacks targeted the Ukrainian capital, according to the mayor.

"Today in Ukraine was the most difficult day for the energy system since the blackout in November 2022," Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal said on Jan. 22, 2026.

Serhii Sternenko, 31, played a key role in popularizing first-person-view (FPV) drones after Russia's full-scale invasion. He has previously criticized Ukraine's military and political leadership.
