on Wednesday, December 4, the situation in Ukraine escalated dramatically. Russian drone attacks devastated the critical infrastructure in the western regions of Ternopil and Rivne.

In the meantime, President Wolodymyr Selenskyj urgently demanded reinforcement of the eastern front lines that extend over 1,000 kilometers. He emphasized that the support of the western allies was crucial to stop the offensive of Russia.

The situation continues to come to a head because the Russian armed forces have conquered two new front villages: Kurakhove in the Donetsk and Novodarivka region in the neighboring Zaporizhia region. In another dramatic turning point, the Mayor of Novorossiysk reported that the Russian air defense fought against a Ukrainian drone attack. In the meantime, the Russian marine tested new hyper-shaped anti-sailing rockets in the eastern Mediterranean, which further heats up the tensions in the region.
