Steps forward, steps backward in Ukraine
Over the weekend, 2 things happened that are worth noting. Russia launched more missiles targeting Ukraine’s infrastructure, including in the capital Kyiv. More than 1,000 missiles and Iranian-made attack drones have taken out the country’s vital assets since the start of October – acts leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron say are war crimes. Despite the ongoing assault, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says power has been restored to 6 million. And in Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with the commanders of his armed forces to get their advice on how the ‘special military operation’ should proceed. Some say Russia is preparing for a new assault on Kyiv from Belarus to get back on the front foot, but others say Putin’s war efforts are flagging. Reports say Russia will run out of reliable munitions by early 2023.
