Meanwhile, Moscow warned of World War III as Ukraine prepares to use long-range weapons to target Russian and North Korean forces in Kursk Oblast.

Germany says it will deliver AI-powered drones to Ukraine that have a range four times greater than the kamikaze drones previously used in Ukraine.

After a massive attack involving 83 drones, Russian forces left the Zaporizhzhia plant on the verge of a blackout, with only one power line linking it to Ukraine’s grid.

Facing severe losses among junior officers on the battlefield, Russia plans to open 33 new military training centers by the end of 2024, signaling a deepening command crisis within its armed forces.

The collapse of Germany’s ruling coalition has raised concerns over potential delays in arms supplies to Ukraine, including critical drone deliveries, as budget negotiations and political uncertainty loom.

The latest assault by Russian forces on Odesa has killed one woman and injured ten civilians, and caused significant destruction to homes, a heating pipeline, and local institutions, plunging over 40,000 residents into cold as winter approaches.

The greatest threat is that the US may return to a policy of isolationism as it did during World War II.

Ukraine could explore developing nuclear weapons if left in a “gray zone” without NATO membership and pressured to capitulate to Russia, military expert Mykhailo Samus says.

While Russian forces have seized the initiative across key sectors of the frontlines, their heavy losses and failure to achieve major objectives underline the high cost of their campaign.

For the first time, China has reportedly supplied weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine, prompting the European Union to consider sanctions, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reports, citing intelligence presented by Josep Borrell to EU leaders.

Earlier, Orbán urged a review of a $50 billion aid package to Ukraine and warned that Europe cannot sustain Ukraine’s defense alone if US support wanes.

As winter approaches, Russian forces may target Ukraine's energy infrastructure in a large-scale missile attack. Ukrainian Captain Andrii Ryzhenko reports that Russian submarines in the Black Sea pose a significant threat capable of launching Kalibr missiles from secure underwater positions.

In a recent phone call, Russian ruler Vladimir Putin expressed openness to negotiations, yet maintained his stance on retaining territories seized during the war.

With Donald Trump set to take office on January 20, 2025, Russian forces are ramping up efforts to breach Ukrainian defenses in the Donetsk region, according to military expert Mykhailo Samus.
