Attack on Ukraine January 13
The Russian army attacked Ukraine with drones and missiles on January 13, striking Kharkiv and Kyiv. In the Shevchenkivskyi district of Kharkiv, a drone hit a children's sanatorium, causing a fire. Explosions were heard in the capital of Ukraine, leading to power outages in Kyiv and its suburbs. Additionally, Mariupol experienced a blackout following the drone attacks.
Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov confirmed the drone hit on the children's sanatorium and noted that a fire broke out at the scene. Timur Tkachenko, a well-known Ukrainian journalist, urged citizens to stay in safe places due to the threat of missile attacks on the capital.
New US Trade Restrictions
At the same time, US President Donald Trump introduced new 25% tariffs for countries doing business with Iran. This decision is part of a new trade policy aimed at limiting economic ties with Tehran. Additionally, Republican Randy Fine introduced a bill in the US Congress regarding the annexation of Greenland, highlighting the activity of American legislators on foreign policy issues.
Thus, January 13 was marked as a day of new attacks by Russia on Ukrainian cities, as well as the introduction of new US trade restrictions against Iran. These events indicate an escalation of military tensions in Ukraine and changes in international politics. The drone attacks on Ukrainian settlements highlight the ongoing tension in the region, while the new economic sanctions from the US reflect Washington's desire to reduce Iran's influence on the global stage.
