How have Russian forces continued attacks on Ukraine?
Over the past two months, Russia has executed large-scale missile and drone attacks on Ukraine while its forces are running heavy. It launched a major aerial attack on December 31, 2024, comprising 40 drones and multiple missiles against the capital city of Kyiv and other regions. The Ukrainian air defense has shot down 16 drones, while debris from missiles has rained in residential areas without causing killings instantly.
On Christmas Day, Russia launched an extensive bombardment using 78 missiles and 106 drones against cities in Ukraine, including Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Kryvyi Rih. The attack injured at least six people in Kharkiv. The attack intercepted 55 cruise missiles as well as hundreds of drones from Ukraine’s military.
Russia launched 93 cruise and ballistic missiles, besides almost 200 drones targeting energy infrastructure, on December 13, 2024, in the major attack on Ukraine. This was another continuation of Russia’s approach to crippling the power supply in the winter conditions in Ukraine.
