Zelenskyy says Moscow deliberately timed the attacks for the freezing weather (-15°C) to maximize civilian suffering, hitting energy infrastructure and homes as Ukrainian crews work to restore power and heating while Europe watches.

"Russia's Use of Deadly Glide Bombs in Kharkiv Raises Tensions with NATO"

Russia has been using a new type of "glide bomb" to target civilian areas in Ukraine, with the latest strike hitting the city of Kharkiv. These bombs, adapted from heavy "dumb" munitions to behave like cruise missiles, have caused civilian casualties and significant damage. The use of these bombs reflects a shift in Russia's tactical approach, enabling them to strike targets from a distance and evade advanced air defense systems. The production of these glide bombs has reportedly increased, posing a significant threat to Ukrainian defenses, with efforts to counter them still underway.

Allegations of Ukraine using foreign missiles in attacks on Luhansk

Moscow accused Kyiv of using British long-range missiles to target civilian sites in Luhansk, injuring six children. The defense ministry said that the Storm Shadow air-to-air missiles supplied to Ukraine by Great Britain were used for the strike, despite London's declarations that these weapons would not be used against civilian targets. The ministry said a Sukhoi Su-24 jet that carried the missiles and a MiG-29 aircraft had been shot down.

Russia's missile attacks in Ukraine leave death and destruction.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called Russia an "evil state" after a missile attack on civilian targets in Sloviansk, where 11 people, including a 2-year-old boy, were killed. The attack targeted 33 buildings, 33 private homes, some administrative buildings and a schoolyard. Sloviansk is in Donetsk province, about 28 miles west of Bakhmut, where a fierce battle has been raging for months between Ukrainian and Russian forces for control of the region. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a bill on Friday that would allow Russia to send draft notices electronically instead of in person in an attempt to significantly boost military rosters amid the more than year old war in Ukraine.
