Russia launches another massive missile attack on Ukraine Drugs and public safety: Italy passes law against illegal rave parties

Just before the New Year celebrations, Russia again attacked Ukraine with dozens of cruise missiles and missiles. About half a dozen explosions – believed to be caused by anti-aircraft fire – were heard in Kiev on Saturday, as a reporter for the German news agency reported from the center of the capital. Mayor Vitali Klitschko spoke of destruction. Emergency services and medical personnel are on their way.

Russia carried out drone and missile attacks on Ukraine on Thursday. On the last day of the year there was again an air raid alarm everywhere. The authorities called on people to seek shelter in bunkers.

Explosions were also reported from the western Ukrainian regions of Vinnytsia and Zhytomyr and from the southern Ukrainian region of Mykolaiv. According to the deputy head of the Presidential Office, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, the western Ukrainian region of Khmelnytskyi was attacked by drones. There were two injured. As a precaution, power has been shut off in several areas to limit damage from power outages.

Since mid-October, Russia has carried out eleven major attacks, mainly on objects in the Ukrainian energy system. The massive destruction of infrastructure has caused power cuts in many places, affecting millions of people. The Ukrainian government accuses Russia of “terrorism” – aiming to plunge the country into darkness and cold. Kiev has accused Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin of trying to force people to flee in order to destabilize the situation in the EU through mass immigration. (sda/dpa)
