Moscow said Monday it had foiled a new Ukrainian drone attack on a strategic bomber military base hundreds of kilometres from their joint border, as Kyiv called for Russia's ouster from the United Nations.
This photograph taken on December 25, 2022, shows Sviatohirsk Cave Monastery, “an Orthodox Christian monastery”, partially damaged by shelling in the town of Sviatohirsk, in Donetsk region, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The same day, Russia’s domestic security agency said it killed four Ukrainian “saboteurs”, who allegedly attempted to enter Russia via a border region. It was the second attack on the Engels airfield in less than a month and the deepest strike into Russian territory since President Vladimir Putin sent troops to Ukraine on February 24.
A video released by the FSB showed several bloodied bodies sprawled on the ground, wearing winter camouflage and carrying guns.The attacks came 10 months into Moscow’s offensive in Ukraine where Russian troops have been battering the country’s energy grid, leaving millions in the cold and dark in the middle of winter.
Despite mounting human and material losses and growing international isolation, Russian President Vladimir Putin has showed no readiness to change tactics. “Divide and conquer, that’s what they have always sought to accomplish and are still seeking to do,” Putin said in a television interview, referring to the West.He said that Moscow was ready to negotiate and appeared unfazed when asked about a new air defence system the United States will deliver to Ukraine.
