Summary:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Russia conducted a large-scale overnight attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, deploying over 70 missiles—including 32 ballistic and 28 cruise missiles—and more than 450 attack drones targeting eight regions. The assault occurred one day before peace talks between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States were set to resume in Abu Dhabi. Ukraine’s State Emergency Service confirmed that five people were injured and three rescued after a drone strike caused a fire in Kharkiv. Despite a proposed temporary halt to strikes intended to support diplomacy, Russia resumed attacks prior to the agreed period’s end, with Ukrainian officials stating the strikes aimed to cause civilian hardship during freezing temperatures. Ukraine’s air defenses intercepted the majority of missiles and drones. U.S. and Russian officials recently held constructive discussions as efforts for a durable peace continue.

Scripture: Proverbs 24:17-18 (NASB 1977)
"Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
Lest the LORD see it and be displeased,
And turn His anger away from him."
Commentary:
Targeting power and heat in winter is calculated pressure, not just battlefield work. People feel it when lights go out and apartments turn cold. Proverbs warns against gloating over an enemy’s collapse, even while recognizing evil actions for what they are. The timing—strikes just ahead of renewed talks—fits the prophetic pattern Scripture describes: hardening, deception, and cycles of escalation that keep “peace” just out of reach. Pray with sober clarity for protection and restraint, and for leaders to act with integrity.
Prophetic Trend:
Precision attacks on civilian infrastructure alongside “constructive talks” signal a widening gap between diplomacy and realities on the ground, a recurring end-time pattern of unrest and hardened hearts.
