Kyiv Prepares for Harsh Winter Amid Increased Russian Drone and Missile AttacksPreviousNext

Kyiv faces escalating challenges as Russia intensifies drone and missile attacks ahead of a fifth winter of war. Residents endure near-constant air raids disrupting daily life, including commuting, schooling, and utilities. New jet-propelled drones are harder to intercept, causing injuries and infrastructure damage. Ukraine seeks more Patriot missiles from Western allies to bolster defenses amid concerns over Russian missile stockpiling. Peace efforts continue amid ongoing frontline fighting and civilian casualties.
