In recent days, Russia carried out a massive air attack on Ukrainian territory, using cruise and ballistic missiles as well as drones. In Kyiv, at least 14 people were killed, including children, as a result of the strikes. Civilian sites were deliberately targeted, though Russian propaganda described them as military objects.
Amid these events, the US government continues to call for peace, and Kremlin officials also claim to prefer a political and diplomatic solution. However, hostilities persist.
Ukrainian forces responded with strikes inside Russia, damaging key infrastructure and economic sites. In particular, oil refineries in the Volgograd, Samara, and Kuban regions were hit, leading to fires and disruptions in railway operations. Russian authorities report a growing fuel shortage due to these attacks, with a gasoline crisis in Crimea and occupied territories.
Against the backdrop of continued warfare, the Russian economy faces deeper difficulties – rising prices for goods and utilities, cuts in coal and metallurgy production, and reports of salary delays at defense plants. Despite these issues, Russia's military and political leadership is determined to continue the war.
The author encourages viewers to support the Ukrainian military with donations. Ukrainian armed units regularly receive advanced FPV drones thanks to citizen support. Soldiers thank donors for their help, emphasizing that contributions are crucial for speeding up victory.
The war is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. The Ukrainian military and political leadership as well as citizens must be prepared for ongoing support for security and defense forces.
