Intelligence reveals Russian strategy shift

Ukrainian intelligence services obtained documents showing Vladimir Putin issued orders for attacks on infrastructure, roads, schools and hospitals. The stated goal is to pressure civilians to abandon Kyiv and other cities before the northern winter begins. Both sides deny deliberately targeting civilians in these operations.

Ukrainian counteroffensive gains ground

President Zelenskiy said an ongoing operation code-named Vivaldi has recaptured around 140 square kilometres of the eastern Donbas region. Russia maintains it must control this area entirely as a condition for any peace agreement.
