Russia's Failed Missile Launch in Ukraine Causes Minimal Damage, One Casualty Reported

The British Defense Ministry has stated that Russia likely stockpiled air-launched cruise missiles (ALCMs) for use in its winter campaign against Ukraine. On December 7, a major wave of missile strikes targeted Kyiv and central Ukraine, with the aim of degrading Ukraine's energy infrastructure. However, Ukraine successfully intercepted most of the missiles, resulting in minimal damage but one civilian fatality. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is currently on his first trip to Latin America, attending the swearing-in of Argentina's new president.

British Intelligence Links Cancelation of Immortal Regiment Events in Russia

The British Defense Ministry, citing intelligence, claims that the cancellation of this year's "Immortal Regiment" events in Russia was due to concerns that participants would highlight the scope of recent Russian losses. The Kremlin is trying to maintain consistency in its narrative justifying the war on Ukraine, claiming it is similar to the Soviet experience in World War 2. The leader of the Wagner terrorist group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, publicly expressed doubts about the presence of "Nazis" in Ukraine, going against Russia's justification for the war. Russian authorities continue to unify the public around polarizing myths about the 1940s.
