20.01.2026 ⇢ The Day the Zircon Reached Kyiv's Grid
⌨The morning of January 20 was dominated by reports of a massed Russian aerial assault on Kyiv, with editors shifting focus from the previous day's defensive restructuring to immediate infrastructure failure. Headlines tracked the impact of 'Zircon' and 'Iskander' missiles, which left over 5,600 buildings without heat and water, particularly on the capital's Left Bank. By midday, editorial attention pivoted to the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, following reports from the IAEA that the facility and several other nuclear power lines had lost external power.
In the early afternoon, the narrative transitioned to diplomatic friction as media analyzed President Zelenskyy's refusal to participate in President Trump’s proposed 'Peace Council,' citing the inclusion of Russia and Belarus. The day concluded with institutional accountability, as editors highlighted Zelenskyy’s public criticism of the Air Force for 'unsatisfactory' performance in intercepting drones, despite earlier reports that Western-supplied missiles had prevented a total blackout.
