17 injured in strike in Kharkiv: At least 17 people were injured Tuesday evening in a Russian bombing targeting Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second city, located in the northeast of the country, near the border with Russia. “Two women are in serious condition,” said regional governor Oleg Sinegoubov. According to him, Russian forces struck the center of Kharkiv with two S-300 surface-to-air missiles and damaged residential buildings. Three people were also injured last night in a drone attack in Odessa, according to kyiv.

Russia says it repelled a strike in Belgorod: on the other side of the border, Russia claims to have also suffered a Ukrainian strike on its territory, in Belgorod. But the Russian forces specify that they managed to repel this bombing, “no casualties” being reported according to the authorities. “Air defense destroyed seven missiles and four Ukrainian drones over the Belgorod region,” the Russian Defense Ministry said.

Macron will visit Ukraine in February: Emmanuel Macron announced Tuesday, during his press conference, that he would go to Ukraine “in February” and that France would deliver 40 new long-range Scalp missiles and “hundreds of bombs” to the country. “We cannot let Russia win and we must not do so, because then the very security of Europe and the entire Russian neighborhood would be called into question,” the head of state stressed.
