Hi there,

Commercial media consolidation is already devastating newsrooms across the country. That is why we need to keep fighting for an independent press. We must build an independent media that includes diverse perspectives and keeps the public empowered with reliable information. For the only time this month, a group of generous donors will TRIPLE all donations made today, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. Please donate today, so we can keep bringing you fearless reporting from authentic voices and help keep our democracy intact. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Russian Attack on Kyiv Leaves Ukrainian Parliament Without Power

HeadlineJan 21, 2026

A large Russian attack on Kyiv left the Ukrainian parliament without power Tuesday and half of the capital’s residential buildings without heating or power. Russian attacks also targeted the cities of Dnipro and Odesa, killing four people and injuring 33 across Ukraine. Residents of Kyiv were forced to warm up in emergency tents.

Iryna: “It is the hardest right now. We’ve never had such a situation, when at the same time there was no heating, no electricity and no water. Today, when we came after the shelling, there was no heating, no water, no electricity. And you’re like that in your cell apartment. What could you do there?”
