| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Korrespondent] Recently, it has been noted in the West that Russia may launch a coordinated winter campaign of strikes against Ukraine’s critical energy infrastructure. In the West, it is assumed that the massive shelling of Ukraine last night could be “the beginning of a winter campaign of strikes,” writes Sky News. "We have noted over the past few weeks that Russia may launch a concerted winter campaign of strikes against Ukraine's critical energy infrastructure, and we assessed that Russia likely attempted to initiate this activity last night," an unnamed Western official told the publication. The interlocutor recalled that strikes on Ukrainian territory were carried out using Tu-95 bombers, “which were not actually deployed or used over the past few months,” and now strikes have resumed and the Russians have used high-precision missiles. In addition, he emphasized that this rocket attack “from the reconnaissance field” was not coordinated with drone attacks, as the Russians regularly do. Let us remind you that today, December 8, at night, the Russian occupiers launched a massive missile attack on Ukraine for the first time in several months. The air defense forces managed to shoot down 14 out of 19 Kh-101/Kh-555 missiles that the invaders launched using Tu-95 bombers. Also, unfortunately, there were hits that resulted in the death of one person. Earlier it was reported that air defense shot down five of the seven suicide bombers at night.
