Image of the day: a missile attack on kyiv
A massive missile attack took place on kyiv (Ukraine) and the east of the country. According to Ukrainian authorities, this is the biggest attack in more than two and a half months. One death has been reported in the city of Kharkiv (Ukraine) and dozens injured.
Quote of the day: “I thank every Ukrainian family”
Thursday, December 7, in his daily speech, Volodymyr Zelensky addressed Ukrainian families: “I thank every Ukrainian family, everyone who understands the challenges of war and temperature and who uses electricity sparingly and rationally.” Last winter, in fact, Russian forces bombed Ukrainian power plants, depriving them of power for several months. The population fears that similar strikes will occur this winter.
Today’s figure: a 90% drop in Western aid
Minus 90% is the drop in Western aid to kyiv over the last three months compared to the same period last year. The trend was becoming clearer before the US Senate blocked new aid.
