    Ukraine says it has nothing to do with Kremlin drone attack

    Canada Global (Web News) On Wednesday, a top member of the Ukrainian presidential administration claimed that Kiev had nothing to do with any drone strike on the Kremlin and that such activities would only encourage Russia to take more drastic measures.

    The claim that Kyiv was behind the attack and Russia’s detention of accused Ukrainian saboteurs, according to presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak, may be signs that Moscow is getting ready to launch a significant “terrorist” attack against Ukraine in the coming days.

    Most importantly, Ukraine has nothing to do with the drone attacks on the Kremlin. To begin with, Podolyak asserts that striking the Kremlin does not advance any military goals.

    On Wednesday, Russia accused Ukraine of using drones to strike the Kremlin overnight in an unsuccessful bid to assassinate President Vladimir Putin.

    “Reports about an attack on the Kremlin” and the simultaneous alleged capture of Ukrainian saboteurs in Crimea, according to Podolyak, “clearly indicate the preparation of a large-scale terrorist provocation by Russia in the coming days,” he claimed.

    Russia launches wave of missiles at Ukraine

    Canada Global (Web News) The day after Kiev obtained Western commitments of dozens of contemporary fighting tanks to try to repel the Russian invasion, Russia unleashed a salvo of missiles at Ukraine during rush hour on Thursday.

    When the German and American declarations were made, Moscow reacted angrily. In the past, it has responded to seeming Ukrainian victories with airstrikes that have left millions without heat, light, or water.

    Ukrainian military claimed it shot down all 24 Russian drones that had been launched over night, including 15 in the capital area.

    But soon after, as people were making their way to work, air raid alarms began to sound across Ukraine, and senior officials reported that approaching missiles were being shot down by air defences.

    A huge explosion was reported in the city as large throngs of people hid in underground metro stations.

    The largest private energy producer in Ukraine, DTEK, announced that due to the impending risk, it was implementing emergency power shutdowns in Kyiv, the surrounding area, as well as the regions of Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk.

    Although more than 15 missiles fired into Kyiv were shot down, the military administration in Kiev ordered residents to stay in their shelters.

    “Missiles are being fired within Ukrainian territory. At least two passed through the Mykolaiv region to the northwest, according to Vitaly Kim, the region’s governor in southern Ukraine.

    According to Western analysts, the airstrikes on Ukraine’s cities are less of a planned strategy and more of an effort to lower morale.

    So far, the T-72 tanks from the Soviet era have been the mainstay of both Russia and Ukraine.

    Russia fires barrage of drones at Kyiv in overnight attack

    Canada Global (Web News) Kremlin demonstrated no relent in its goal of employing bombardments to target civilian infrastructure and wear down Ukrainian resistance to its invasion by utilising numerous explosive drones in another nocturnal attack on Ukraine, officials stated Monday.

    The onslaught was the most recent in a string of intense attacks at the end of the year, including one on New Year’s Eve that claimed the lives of three civilians.

    Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Kiev, claimed on Monday that 40 drones “went for Kiev” overnight. Air defence forces claim that they were all destroyed.

    According to Klitschko, 22 drones were shot down above Kiev, including three in the area around the city and 15 over other provinces.

    The attack damaged energy infrastructure facilities, and an explosion occurred in one city district, according to the mayor. It was unclear whether this was caused by drones or other munitions. Klitschko added that a 19-year-old man had been injured and that the capital was experiencing power outages.

    A “critical infrastructure object” and residential buildings were hit in Kyiv’s outskirts, according to Governor Oleksiy Kuleba.

    Since October, Russia has carried out almost weekly airstrikes on Ukrainian power and water supplies.

    Kyiv warns of long cuts after Russian missiles batter grid

    Canada Global (Web News) During claims of “war crimes” against Russia following its most recent wave of strikes on the power grid, Ukraine was working on restoring energy to hospitals, heating systems, and other essential infrastructure in key cities on Saturday.

    The barrage of missiles fired on Friday forced residents of several cities to endure subfreezing conditions while cutting off water and heat.

    People in winter jackets packed into subterranean metro stations in the capital after air raid sirens went off in the morning, when the mayor said that only a third of households had access to heat or water.

    Lada Korovai, a 25-year-old resident of Kyiv, said, “I woke up, and I saw a rocket in the sky.” “I saw that and realised I needed to use the tube.”

    The national energy company of Ukraine declared emergency blackouts, claiming that attacks on “backbone networks and generation facilities” had reduced the system’s capacity by more than half.

    Ukrenergo cautioned that the amount of the damage in the country’s north, south, and centre meant it might take longer than it did after past attacks to restore supplies.

    Hospitals, water supply facilities, heat supply facilities, and sewage treatment plants would receive priority, according to a statement released by Ukrenergo on Friday.

    NATO pledges more aid to Kyiv as air raid sirens blare once again across Ukraine

    Canada Global (Web News) As air raid sirens wailed for the first time this week across Ukraine, NATO allies pledged to provide Kyiv with more weapons and equipment to help restore the country’s electricity and heat that had been cut off by Russian missile and drone strikes.

    Despite the all-clear later sounding across the nation, Ukrainians scurried to bomb bunkers. Russian forces bombarded Ukrainian sites in the eastern part of the Donetsk region with artillery, mortar, and tank fire.

    NATO foreign ministers, including US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, began a two-day summit in Bucharest to discuss strategies for keeping Ukrainians safe and warm as well as for sustaining Kyiv’s armed forces throughout an upcoming winter campaign.


    On the day of the NATO summit, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba listed out the various Western air defence systems: “We need air defence, IRIS, Hawks, Patriots, and we need transformers (for our energy demands).
    In a nutshell, Ukraine needs transformers and patriots the most.

    Dmitry Medvedev, a former leader of Russia, urged NATO not to provide Ukrainian “fanatics” with Patriot missiles and branded the organisation a “criminal body” for doing so.


    NATO ministers reaffirmed a 2008 agreement that Ukraine would eventually join the alliance and denounced Russia’s “persistent and immoral strikes on Ukrainian civilian and energy infrastructure” in a statement. However, it did not reveal any timeline or specific actions that would bring it closer to NATO.

    Officials from the US and Europe indicated that in addition to discussing military help, ministers would concentrate on non-lethal aid such as gasoline, medical supplies, and winter equipment during their talks.

    Washington declared it will give $53 million to purchase equipment for the electricity infrastructure.


    Gabrielius Landsbergis, the foreign minister of Lithuania, asked his NATO counterparts to make the political choice to provide contemporary combat tanks to Ukraine in order to offer that country a military advantage over Russian forces.

    For fear of igniting a direct clash with Russia, Western powers have been hesitant to take that step.
