Russia Pauses Strikes on Ukraine’s Power Grid After Trump’s Request

An emergency service truck stands next to an apartment building, which was hit during overnight Russian drone strikes in the town of Bilohorodka, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in the Kyiv region, Ukraine, January 28, 2026.

Russia has temporarily halted its air attacks on Ukraine’s power grid following a direct request from U.S. President Donald Trump. The pause is expected to last until Sunday and comes as Ukraine faces severe winter weather that has strained its already damaged energy infrastructure.

Ukrainian officials say the lull offers a brief but meaningful opportunity to stabilize parts of the grid and restore power to affected regions. While some drone activity has continued near frontline areas, major cities such as Kyiv reported a noticeably quieter night after the announcement.

The decision marks a rare moment of de‑escalation amid a conflict that has heavily targeted civilian infrastructure. Ukrainian leaders have indicated they are prepared to respond cautiously, watching closely to see whether the pause holds through the weekend.
