The defence ministry said no planes were damaged as a result of Monday’s attack. The details could not be independently confirmed. The attack on the Engels airbase once again exposed Russian air defence gaps and demonstrated Kyiv’s ability to penetrate hundreds of miles into Russian airspace. “Until there are tough measures taken to address the failures of the defence industry, it will be difficult for us to win.”, said Russia could intensify its shelling of Ukraine’s electrical grid in the coming days, with an intention to plunge Ukraine into darkness before the New Year’s Eve holiday.
Dozens of towns in the regions of Luhansk, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia were shelled by Moscow’s troops on Sunday, the Ukrainian military said. Western and Ukrainian officials have dismissed Putin’s repeated statements that Moscow was looking to end the conflict, with the CIA director, William Burns, saying earlier this month that Russia was not yet serious about a real negotiation to end the war.
