Russia launched a new wave of airstrikes on Ukrainian cities Monday, marking its latest attempt to knock out power and other basic services to civilians as the country copes with subfreezing temperatures.
In a video posted to social media, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country's air missile defense system had a high success rate in stopping the strikes, resulting in only a few casualties and largely sparing the nationwide power system.
Here's what else we're following:
- New measures designed to slash Russia's oil revenue take effect Monday.
- Explosions at two military airbases deep inside Russia reportedly killed three people and damaged nuclear-capable bombers.
- The source of missile debris found in Moldova is still unknown, local authorities say.
