Russian military forces have resumed drone and missile strikes across Ukraine following the expiration of a 36-hour ceasefire declared for Orthodox Christmas. The attacks targeted several regions, including the eastern cities of Bakhmut and Kramatorsk. While Russian officials claimed a retaliatory strike killed hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers in Kramatorsk, Ukrainian authorities and independent observers found no evidence to support these claims. As temperatures drop, the Ukrainian energy grid remains under significant strain, while Western allies prepare to dispatch advanced armored vehicles to the region.
