Ukraine's Bold Moves Against Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine is intensifying its efforts to challenge Russia. This comes after a series of Russian attacks that have left many Ukrainian cities in the dark during freezing weather. In a recent address, Zelenskyy revealed that some of these operations are already underway. He also mentioned that he has approved new ones. These actions are designed to hit Russia hard and weaken its ability to keep fighting. Zelenskyy emphasized that every loss Russia suffers brings the war closer to its end. However, he did not share many details. He said it was too soon to talk about certain operations publicly. But he did highlight that Ukraine's security services and special forces are doing a great job.One of the recent Ukrainian attacks targeted an oil depot in Russia's Volgograd region. This was part of Ukraine's strategy to reduce Russia's ability to launch offensives. The announcement from Zelenskyy follows a week of intense Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy systems. These attacks have left many regions without electricity and heating, just as temperatures dropped below zero. In the capital, Kyiv, recent attacks killed at least four people and injured 25 others. The city's mayor advised residents to leave if they could, as half of the apartment buildings were without power or heat. Additionally, Russia launched a nuclear-capable missile near Ukraine's Lviv region. This area is close to the EU and NATO border. The missile was part of a large-scale attack.
