February 11, 2026
On February 11, heavy fighting continued in the Russia-Ukraine war. In Bohodukhiv, Ukraine, a Russian attack killed four people, including three small children. Regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said, "Two one-year-old boys and a two-year-old girl died as a result of an enemy strike," along with a 34-year-old man. A 74-year-old woman was injured. Russian attacks damaged energy infrastructure, leaving the Lozova community without electricity. Syniehubov declared an energy emergency due to "constant enemy fire." In Donetsk, a Russian missile attack killed a mother and her 11-year-old daughter and injured 16 more, said the Donetsk Regional Prosecutor’s Office. In Russian-occupied Zaporizhia, a Ukrainian attack killed five people in Vasylivka, according to Moscow-appointed official Natalya Romanichenko. Another attack killed a priest at a funeral procession in Skelki. These attacks also caused power and heating outages in occupied Zaporizhia and Enerhodar. Ukraine cut one of the two external power lines supplying the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. In Russia’s Belgorod region, a man died after a Ukrainian drone strike on a van. Russian air defenses claimed to have shot down three guided bombs and 72 drones in one day. On military aid, US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker announced that 21 NATO allies and two partners pledged over $4.5 billion in US weapons through the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List. Ukraine also received 4.5 billion hryvnias ($104.5 million) to buy drones and electronic warfare systems. Politically, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa expressed support for ending the war during a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said France had not officially restored relations with Russia but noted President Macron’s positive remarks. Russia's watchdog Roskomnadzor plans to further restrict Telegram, citing data protection concerns. Telegram founder Pavel Durov promised to defend freedom of speech despite pressure. On sanctions, Germany’s PCK Schwedt refinery, managed by Russia's Rosneft, warned of fuel supply risks if US sanctions renew. The refinery’s current sanctions exemption ends April 29.
