[Korrespondent] 22:17 In Dnipro, there are already nine dead as a result of a Russian strike on a high-rise building, among them a 15-year-old girl. Another 64 people were injured - 59 were hospitalized, the rest are being treated at home, said the head of the OVA, Valentin Reznichenko.
21:48 Turkey is ready to seek a local ceasefire in Ukraine and believes that neither Moscow nor Kiev has the military means to win yet, Erdogan's spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said. In his opinion, Kyiv and Moscow are not ready to conclude a "comprehensive peace agreement" in the coming months, but the cost of hostilities may soon force the parties to agree to local truces in certain sectors of the front.
20:37 The German government announced the transfer of another batch of military aid to Ukraine, which, in particular, included four mine-clearing tanks, four mobile protected mine-clearing systems, ten border guard vehicles and 120 mobile heating systems. In addition, Berlin plans to send 40 Marder infantry fighting vehicles with ammunition, Patriot air defense systems with ammunition and 100,000 first aid kits to Ukraine.
20:25 The Russians fired from cannon artillery and MLRS Grad residential areas of Avdeevka, Kurakhovka village and with. Old Mykolaivka of the Ilinovskoye OTG of the Kramatorsk region, the prosecutor's office of the Donetsk region reported. As a result of the attack, five people were killed and five others were injured.
19:46 In Dnipro, there are already almost 60 wounded due to a Russian missile hitting a high-rise building, 12 of them are children. The rescue operation continues, said the head of the OVA, Valentin Reznichenko.
19:43 Zelensky said in an evening video message that Russian terror can only be stopped on the battlefield: "Is it possible to stop Russian terror? Yes. Can it be done differently than on the battlefield in Ukraine? Unfortunately, no. It is possible and necessary to do on our land, in our sky, in our sea. What is needed for this? The weapons that our partners have in their warehouses and that our soldiers are waiting for. The whole world knows what and how can stop those who sow death".
19:39 Russia at the last moment canceled the exchange of prisoners scheduled for today, the Coordinating Headquarters for the treatment of prisoners of war said. In addition, according to the agency, Russia has stepped up special operations designed to undermine public sentiment in Ukraine.
The enemy uses events organized in support of prisoners of war as informational occasions. Thus, today's action on Independence Square was covered in the Russian media space in such a way that they allegedly demanded "to stop hostilities and start negotiations with Russia", and also "turned to the embassies with a demand to stop the supply of weapons."
19:31 Four missiles were shot down in Krivoy Rog, one hit the private sector near a critical infrastructure facility. Six private houses were damaged. Previously, one person died, one was wounded, said the head of the military administration of the city, Alexander Vilkul.
19:29 The "authorities" of the occupied Zaporizhia region stated that as a result of the alleged Ukrainian shelling of the city of Pologi, four civilians were killed, five more were seriously injured.
19:17 Ukrenergo reported that today the enemy launched the 12th massive missile attack on the energy sector of Ukraine - the targets of the attack were generation facilities and high-voltage infrastructure of backbone networks throughout the country. Hits were recorded in Kyiv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Vinnitsa, Lvov and Kharkov regions. As a result, the shortage of power in the energy system has increased significantly.
The difficult situation is in the Kharkiv and Lviv regions, where, as a result of the attack, there is a partial lack of power supply. Emergency shutdowns have been applied in a number of regions.
19:10 The command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine specified that 25 out of 38 missiles of various types were destroyed during the massive missile attack. In particular, at about 13:00, the enemy launched X-101/X-555 cruise missiles from eight Tu-95ms strategic bombers from the Caspian Sea region and Caliber missiles from surface ships and submarines from the Black Sea. In total - 23 air and sea-based cruise missiles.
At the same time, activity of enemy tactical aviation was observed in the airspace from different directions. Su-35 fighters fired five Kh-59 guided missiles, five Kh-22 cruise missiles were fired from five Tu-22m3 long-range bombers (one of these missiles hit a high-rise building in the Dnieper).
As of 18:30 in the east and south of the country, the air defense battle continues - the enemy continues to attack from tactical aircraft. Five more X-59 guided air missiles were fired, four of which were shot down.
In total, 25 out of 38 missiles of various types have now been destroyed. In particular, 18 Kh-101/Kh-555 and Kalibr air and sea-based cruise missiles, seven Kh-59 guided air missiles.
18:59 On January 14, the enemy made about 28 launches of cruise missiles of various bases and five launches of guided aircraft missiles. Air defense forces destroyed 18 cruise missiles and three guided missiles , Zaluzny said.
In particular, on the morning of January 14, the Russians attacked Kyiv with S-400 (S-300) anti-aircraft guided missiles from the north. Later, the Russian Federation used high-precision weapons: Kh-101/Kh-555, Kh-22 air-launched cruise missiles, Kalibr sea-launched cruise missiles, and Kh-59 guided aircraft missiles against critical infrastructure facilities.
18:50 During the day, the enemy launched three air and about 50 missile strikes. According to preliminary information, 21 missiles were destroyed, the General Staff said in an evening summary.
The enemy is concentrating his main efforts on offensive operations in the Bakhmut direction. Heavy fighting continues for Soledar, with Ukrainian forces fighting off attacks around the clock. The invaders are suffering heavy losses. The enemy is also conducting an offensive in the Limansky, Avdeevsky and Novopavlovsky directions. In the Kupyansk direction, it is trying to improve the tactical position, and in the Zaporozhye and Kherson areas, it is defending itself.
In the left-bank Kherson region, the enemy is relocating: there is a movement of personnel, weapons, military equipment and ammunition. The enemy continues to suffer daily losses in manpower. Thus, the level of staffing of individual units of the 3rd separate motorized rifle brigade of the 1st army corps, located in the Gorlovka region of the Donetsk region, remains low - at the level of 40%. And this is despite the recent understaffing of mobilized and contract soldiers. It is significant that the personnel are forbidden to leave the location - thus the invaders are at least somehow trying to prevent desertion.
The Russian occupation "authorities" in the Donetsk region are reviewing the categories of citizens of military age who previously had the so-called reservation. In particular, employees of emergency and public services have already been warned about this.
18:37 In Dnipro, the number of wounded has increased to 39, five have died. There are seven children among the wounded, one of them in serious condition, said the head of the OVA, Valentin Reznichenko.

A fire broke out on the territory of the facility, according to preliminary information, there were no injuries or deaths. At the time of the alarm, all workers were in shelters. Also, in order to minimize the consequences of missile strikes, a section of the road near the infrastructure facility was blocked in advance for the passage of cars. At the same time, the air defense forces also worked successfully, which shot down two Russian missiles during the alarm.
17:45 In Dnipro, the death toll has risen to five , head of the OVA Valentin Reznichenko said.
17:36 In Dnipro, 27 people have already been injured as a result of a Russian strike on an apartment building, two people have died. Six children were among the wounded, the head of the OVA, Valentin Reznichenko, said.
17:29 Anna Malyar about the situation in Soledar: "The fierce battles for Soledar continue. Our soldiers are repulsing the enemy's continuous attacks - day and night. The enemy suffers heavy losses, but continues to carry out the criminal orders of his command."
17:26 In Kiev, thanks to the effective work of air defense, the destruction of critical infrastructure facilities was not allowed, said the head of the KGVA Sergey Popko.
17:23 As a result of the Russian strike on a nine-story residential building in the Dnieper, the number of victims has increased to 18 , two of them are children. There are still people under the rubble of the destroyed house, the rescue operation continues, said the head of the OVA, Valentin Reznichenko.
17:21 The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Moldova announced the fall of rocket fragments on the territory of the country.
17:17 Kuleba urged to immediately introduce new sanctions against the Russian Federation: "Each volley of missiles depletes Russian stocks even more. However, they can still produce new ones. We can and must kill their ability to produce missiles and drones with a massive sanctions strike. I urge G7 and the EU to immediately put into effect the appropriate sanctions proposed by Ukraine."
17:00 The area in Dnipro, where the residential building was hit, is completely de-energized and disconnected from life support systems, Mayor Boris Filatov said.
16:49 As a result of a strike on a residential building in the Dnieper, according to preliminary information, ten people were injured , including two children.

In the meantime, an air alert was announced almost throughout Ukraine, the head of the Nikolaev OVA, Vitaly Kim, announced missile launches, one of which had already been shot down. Enemy bombers were also raised into the sky.
14:44 Putin is preparing to announce a new wave of mobilization, during which up to 500,000 people can be sent to the front, writes The Times, citing Western intelligence data. According to the publication, the decision will be made within a few weeks. This will allow sending up to 500,000 people to the front by April. The Kremlin expects to organize a new large-scale offensive in the spring along the dried-up roads.
14:07 Due to the threat of a missile attack in Kiev, Kiev and Odessa regions, emergency blackouts are applied, DTEK reported. This will avoid significant damage to the energy infrastructure if enemy missiles reach the target.
14:06 An S-400 air defense battalion has been deployed in Moscow, Russian media report. A complex of radar stations in an active position was allegedly noticed between Losiny Ostrov and Sokolniki. Probably, the air defense covers the Chkalovsky military airfield located in Shchelkovo near Moscow.

The monitoring group of Belaruska Gayun stated that on January 14 they did not receive a single message about the launch of missiles from the territory of Belarus. According to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, rockets were launched at Kyiv from the north.
13:39 Zelensky said that he had a conversation with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak: "The always powerful support from the UK has now become impenetrable and ready for challenges. He thanked for the decisions that will not only strengthen us on the battlefield, but also send the right signal to others partners".
13:33 Zelensky would like to personally speak at a meeting of the UN General Assembly on the eve of the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, if the situation allows, Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Emine Dzhaparova told the Associated Press. Thus, this may be the second foreign trip of the Ukrainian president since the start of a full-scale war.
The General Assembly has already scheduled a high-level debate on the war in Ukraine on February 23, followed by a ministerial meeting of the UN Security Council on February 24. Also on February 24, Ukraine wants to hold a peace summit in New York under the auspices of the UN Secretary General.
13:29 The authorities of the Bryansk region said that Russian air defense shot down a Tochka U missile in the sky over the Klintsovsky district.
13:10 In Soledar, city battles and battles in the vicinity continue, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine are in control of the situation, said the head of the Donetsk Regional Military District Pavel Kirilenko. According to him, the enemy suffers huge losses and literally makes his way through the bodies of his soldiers.
13:07 Mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov said that today at four in the morning two loud explosions were heard in the city, after which the invaders began to "fuss" in the eastern part of the city.

13:01 Today, the Russians again fired at energy infrastructure facilities, the consequences are being eliminated, Ukrenergo reported. As of 12:00 on January 14, electricity consumption is lower than yesterday due to warming weather and a public holiday. At the same time, the shortage of power in the power system persists, most of all - in the morning and evening hours. Consumption limits have been brought to all regions, which are valid throughout the day. Currently, the limits have already been exceeded in 11 regions, as a result of which emergency shutdowns have been applied.

12:29 The commander of a separate tactical aerial reconnaissance group SARG Birds of Madyar with the call sign Madyar showed the Ukrainian flag in the western part of Soledar:
12:00 Britain will give Ukraine a squadron of Challenger 2 tanks, writes The Independent. It is assumed that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak may announce this to Zelensky today. First, four tanks will be handed over to Ukraine, and then eight more.
11:51 As a result of today's rocket attack on Kiev, there is a hit in an infrastructure facility, but without critical damage and fire. There were no casualties, the KGVA said.
11:40 British intelligence reports that Russia has withdrawn at least ten ships of the Black Sea Fleet from the Novorossiysk naval base in the Krasnodar Territory. Analysts admit that this was a reaction to a possible attack on the base, which Moscow could have learned about.
Intelligence considers it unlikely that the deployment means preparing for unusual strikes by sea-launched cruise missiles. It is also unlikely that the fleet is preparing for amphibious operations. The Black Sea Fleet remains largely focused on perceived threats from Ukraine and continues to prioritize security forces over offensive or patrol operations.
11:26 Deputy Commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Pavlyuk said that a massive missile attack on Ukraine is expected, and urged not to ignore the alarms.

In addition, according to her, in January, the recruitment of prisoners to the PMC Wagner in the prisons of Chechnya began: “The fact that recruiters were allowed into the prisons of Chechnya is the subject of a personal agreement between Prigozhin and Kadyrov. supply PMC Wagner with people".
11:18 Russia probably attacked Kiev with missiles that flew from the north along a ballistic trajectory, Air Force spokesman Yuri Ignat said. He recalled that Ukraine currently does not have the ability to detect and shoot down ballistic missiles. The notification of the missile danger came late due to the lack of radar data and information from other sources.
11:05 The "authorities" of the occupied Melitopol reported that the air defense systems allegedly repelled a Ukrainian missile attack on the city, "several missiles were shot down." Mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov said that today at about four in the morning there was an explosion that was heard by residents of the central part of the city.
The "authorities" of Berdyansk also stated that two Ukrainian missiles were allegedly destroyed by air defense systems.
10:41 According to preliminary information, a car was damaged by fragments of a rocket in the Darnitsky district of Kiev, and a non-residential building in Goloseevsky. There were no casualties, the KGVA said.
In the Kyiv region, as a result of a morning attack, 18 private houses were damaged, but no one was injured, said OVA head Oleksiy Kuleba.
10:33 Russia lifted 17 Tu bombers into the air, the head of the Nikolaev OVA Vitaly Kim said.
10:09 KGVA reported that an enemy missile hit an infrastructure facility in Kiev.
10:07 The ratio of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which are part of the groups in the north, to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, located in Belarus, is enough to carry out the tasks of the stabilization operation, said the commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sergei Naev. According to him, in case of an increase in the threat, there are corresponding military units in reserve, the General Staff provides for their immediate redeployment to threatening areas.

09:46 Russia is preparing for a long war, as evidenced by the reorganization of the economy and the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation. In addition, the appointment of Gerasimov as the new commander of the occupying forces testifies not only to Russia's military failures, but also to preparations for the continuation of a large-scale long-term war, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine notes.

In the village of Dvurechnaya, Kupyansky district, two people were killed, one was injured, and two people were injured in the Kupyansky district.
09:03 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that Putin is forming an "information pool" against Prigozhin. In particular, he gathers bloggers loyal to himself and the Ministry of Defense to undermine Prigozhin's efforts to assert himself. In turn, Prigozhin seeks to use the victory in Soledar as a bargaining tool in order to raise his authority in the Russian Federation.
08:41 The General Staff announced the approximate losses of the enemy as of the morning of January 14th.

As of January 12, three local residents were detained and taken away in an unknown direction.
05:27 Russia has damaged Ukraine's infrastructure for $127 billion, First Deputy Foreign Minister Emine Dzhaparova said at a meeting of the UN Security Council.
02:53 North Korea and Iran, which have already transferred weapons and ammunition to Russia for strikes against Ukraine, continue to consider the possibility of new supplies, despite the ban of the UN Security Council, US Permanent Representative Linda Thomas-Greenfield said during a meeting of the Security Council. "We believe that Iran is now considering selling hundreds of ballistic missiles to Russia," she said and urged Tehran to change course and not take these steps.
In addition, according to Thomas-Greenfield, North Korea publicly states that it does not support Russia. However, this country provided weapons to PMC Wagner, which is a direct violation of another UN Security Council resolution. "We are concerned that the DPRK plans to send more military weapons to PMCs," the US representative added and called on Pyongyang to refuse these deliveries.
01:35 Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said that Moscow is allegedly ready for a scenario in which the goals of the "special operation" would be fulfilled "peacefully": "It will be possible to complete the NVO only when there is no longer a threat to Russia from the territory of Ukraine and when discrimination against the Russian-speaking population of this country ends. If this result can be achieved through negotiations, we are ready for such a scenario, if not, then all the tasks set will be achieved by military means."
Nebenzya also said that the UN Security Council on January 17 will discuss the situation around the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. And he called Ukraine's proposal to hold a peace summit "an attempt by the Kyiv authorities to please Western countries."
01:18 An international coalition for the transfer of tanks to Ukraine actually already exists, said the head of the Office of the President of Poland Pavel Shrot. According to him, Finland, Great Britain and Denmark have already announced their participation in this coalition. Schroth stressed that it is already possible to speak of a broad coalition, and German politicians should take this into account.
00:49 Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, following a meeting in Washington, made a tough statement regarding a possible Russian nuclear strike on Ukraine: "We unequivocally declare that any use of nuclear weapons by Russia in Ukraine would be a hostile and unjustified hostile act against all mankind ". The leaders of Japan and the United States also stressed that they would continue to impose sanctions against the Russian Federation, unwaveringly supporting Ukraine.
