Warning of Russian attacks in western Ukraine
In the west of the country, authorities issued warnings of a Russian attack. “The enemy is attacking western Ukraine with drones,” Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadowy said via the Telegram online service. “Don’t ignore the alarm! Stay in the shelter!”. According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Energy, there have been further power outages in several regions of Ukraine due to Russian attacks.
Increased attacks just before the start of winter
Since the war of aggression against Ukraine began in February 2022, Russia has attacked its neighboring country almost every day with missiles and drones. Recently, as winter approached, Russian armed forces stepped up their attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
