In February, Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine after Kiev intensified attacks on the people's republics of Donetsk and Lugansk.
Russia began striking Ukrainian infrastructure on October 10, two days after Ukraine's terrorist attack on Russia's Crimean Bridge. The strikes are carried out on power, defense industry, military command and communications facilities across Ukraine. Since then, air raid warnings have been issued in Ukrainian regions every day, sometimes throughout the country.
According to Kiev, almost half of the country's energy system has not been operating due to missile strikes.

Ukraine Crisis One Element of Multidimensional Crisis That Formed 3 Decades Ago: Russian Envoy to UN
The crisis in Ukraine represents only one part of the overall, "multidimensional" crisis of the international system that began forming gradually between two and three decades ago, Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzya said on Wednesday.
"The Ukrainian crisis is just one of the elements of this multidimensional crisis. And this is the systemic crisis, the preconditions of which were formed gradually over the course of two or three decades," Nebenzya said during a meeting of the UN Security Council.
The Russian ambassador accused NATO and the collective West of attempting to use the situation in Ukraine to serve their own interests and that the West is trying to expand its interests towards more regions in the world.
Nebenzya also said that the majority of countries will benefit from a multi-polar United Nations-centric world, where all decisions are based on mutual respect and discussions take place without blackmail and attempts of domination by a world hegemon.

White House: US Has No Expectation Fighting in Ukraine Will End During Winter Months
The United States does not expect that the fighting in Ukraine will end during the winter months, National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby said on Wednesday.
"We have no expectation fighting will stop in the winter months," Kirby said during a press conference.
The United States would like to see the fighting stop before the year's end, but it would be difficult to conclude whether it would end then given the current events on the ground and in the air, he said.
Kirby added that he expects the fighting in Ukraine to continue for "some time."

Italy Announces New $10.6Mln Aid for Ukrainian Population - Foreign Minister
Italy will allocate 10 million euros ($10.6 million) in aid for the Ukrainian civilian population, Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said on Wednesday.

"[At the Paris donor conference] we were talking about providing assistance to the civilian population. Italy has decided to allocate another 10 million euros," Tajani said in parliament on the sidelines of an event on the Sakharov Prize.

The minister added that Italy had already sent more than 50 tonnes of electrical equipment to Ukraine.

The Paris donor conference for Ukraine took place on Tuesday and raised about $1 billion, according to the French Foreign Ministry.

In November the Italian government promised to provide Ukraine with technological assistance in restoring the work of its power grids ahead of winter in order to ensure that the cold period did not become a tragedy for the Ukrainian people.

Kremlin on Possible Supply of US Patriot Systems to Ukraine: Wait for Official Information
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, commenting on possible supplies of US Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine, said on Wednesday that there is no official information on the matter yet.
On Tuesday, US media reported that President Joe Biden's administration is finalizing plans to provide Ukraine with the Patriot system amid a series of Russian strikes on the country's energy infrastructure and other targets. A Pentagons spokesperson, however, told Sputnik there is nothing to announce.
"But I would not comment [on these reports] yet because these are all media reports. Media reports are unreliable these days. So let's wait for some official information," Peskov told reporters.
If delivered to Ukraine, these systems will become a legitimate target for the Russian armed forces, the official added.
