Ukraine suffered ‘massive’ attacks involving Russian missiles on Thursday morning in several cities including the capital Kyiv, the Ukrainian Army and Presidency announced. Air raid alerts sounded across the country. According to Ukraine’s head of intelligence services, the war is currently at a deadlock, as neither Ukraine nor Russia are able to make significant progress. In an interview to the BBC, Kyrylo Budanov said Russia was at a dead end, suffering significant losses, but he admitted that Ukraine lacks the resources to move forward. He added that Kyiv was waiting for more advanced weapons. Ever since October, Russia has been regularly hitting Ukraine’s energy and other critical infrastructure. Kremlin warned that there will be no New Year ceasefire in Ukraine.
