On Day 1,418 of the war, Russia hits Kyiv and Lviv with Oreshnik hypersonic missiles, leaving thousands without heat, while Ukraine retaliates with strikes on Russian oil depots.

As the Russia-Ukraine war enters its 1,418th day—matching the duration of the "Great Patriotic War" (WWII) for the Soviet Union—the conflict has entered a deadly new phase. Russia has unleashed its new Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missiles on Kyiv and Lviv, aiming to break Ukrainian morale by dismantling the heating grid in the dead of winter.
Overnight, explosions rocked Kyiv as Russian forces targeted energy infrastructure. Local officials report that over 1,000 buildings in the capital are without heat as temperatures plunge to -10°C. The Oreshnik missile, which travels at Mach 10, struck a facility near the Polish border in Lviv, a clear message to NATO.
With the frontlines largely frozen, the war has become a battle of infrastructure and endurance. Russia is betting that a freezing Ukraine will sue for peace; Ukraine is betting that striking Russia's oil wallet will force a collapse. On Day 1,418, neither side is blinking.
