During the night of February 4–5, the Russian Armed Forces carried out another wave of strikes against targets located in territories controlled by the Kiev authorities. Military analysts note that despite ongoing talks in Abu Dhabi, Moscow is maintaining operational pressure and is not allowing the opposing side any operational pause.

At the same time, Russian troops continue advancing along several sections of the front line, including in the direction of the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk urban area.

Overnight, Russian drones targeted Kiev and the surrounding Kiev region. Ukrainian air defense units were actively engaged in interception efforts, though results were mixed. Available reports indicate that the Ukrainian Armed Forces used expensive Western-made surface-to-air missiles to counter Geran and Gerbera-type drones.

The Russian military also employed Tornado-S multiple-launch rocket systems and Iskander-M operational-tactical missiles. Strikes were reported in the Dnepropetrovsk and Kharkov regions, where, according to some sources, HIMARS launchers were hit.

Impacts were also recorded in Krivoy Rog and Vasilkovka in the Dnepropetrovsk region, in Artsyz in the Odessa region, and in the settlement of Voronezh in the Sumy region.

Ukrainian sources report intensified activity by Russian reconnaissance drones. These UAVs are tracking the movement of Ukrainian military equipment and personnel along railway routes in Kiev, Zhitomir, and several other regions.

In addition, reports indicate that all bridges north of Konstantinovka have been destroyed. Russian assault units are said to have broken through Ukrainian defensive positions near the village of Ilyinovka, increasing pressure on the Ukrainian garrison holding Konstantinovka.
