Recent developments in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia have escalated tensions as the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump approaches. Both countries have engaged in significant drone and missile strikes, each aiming to gain an advantage in the ongoing conflict.
On Monday into Tuesday, Kyiv launched what it described as its most extensive attack of the conflict, targeting deep inside Russia with drones and missiles, including US-made long-range ATACMS ballistic missiles. This move, authorized by outgoing US President Joe Biden in November, has been viewed by Moscow as a significant escalation.
