Ukraine and its allies had anticipated such attacks, as Russia had used a similar tactic last winter, causing power outages and civilian casualties.

Russia Launches Winter Missile Barrage on Ukraine, Intercepted by Kyiv

Russia has reportedly initiated a major bombing campaign on Ukraine, targeting its energy infrastructure. The UK Ministry of Defence believes that the recent cruise missile attack is the beginning of a more concerted effort by Russia to degrade Ukraine's energy network. The missiles used are likely AS-23a KODIAK, which Russia has been stockpiling for its winter campaign. Ukraine's energy network is a vulnerable target during the winter months, and Russia's previous tactics of knocking out Ukrainian power have caused significant damage and civilian casualties. However, initial reports suggest that most of the missiles were intercepted by Ukraine's air defense.

Ukraine Strikes Back: Winter Payback in Russia's Drone Blitz

Ukraine and Russia have engaged in a winter drone campaign, with Ukraine launching strikes against several regions, including Moscow, in retaliation for a record-breaking barrage of drones from Russia. Russia reported shooting down 24 drones over its territory and over 50 UAVs in eastern Ukraine. The drone strikes coincided with a major storm in southern Ukraine, causing blackouts in Crimea and Donetsk. Both sides are expected to continue their drone and missile campaigns in an attempt to gain an advantage. Ukraine is developing new drone platforms, including the "Beaver" long-range UAV, which could potentially reach Moscow. Ukraine aims to become a world leader in drone production after the war ends.
