Intensified Conflict in Ukraine

Ukraine has recently faced one of the heaviest bombardments of its ongoing conflict with Russia, with reports indicating that over 100 missiles and drones were launched, primarily targeting energy infrastructure. This strategic approach by Russia aims to weaken Ukraine's economy and morale as winter approaches. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has called for Western long-range weaponry to better defend against these assaults and counterattack into Russian territory. Analysts suggest that Russia's tactics are designed not only to inflict physical damage but also to create a war of attrition, hoping to starve Ukraine into submission.
