The situation in Ukraine has reached a point of no return, with Kyiv standing one step away from total destruction.
Combined Russian attacks utilizing dozens of missiles and hundreds of drones have dealt vital blows to its infrastructure, causing unprecedented disruptions in electricity and heating.
On the night of November 7 and November 8, the Armed Forces of Russia launched dozens of missiles and nearly two hundred drones each night against Ukraine.
The main direction of this combined strike was the city of Kyiv and its broader region.
As a result of this air attack, an exceptionally complex and dangerous situation developed in the Ukrainian capital regarding power supply and covering the energy needs of the population.
With the onset of winter, analysts warn of massive waves of population flight toward the borders.
Beyond the capital, Russian forces are escalating their pressure on pivotal points such as Dobropillia, Pokrovsk, and the region of Izium.
Opting for encirclement tactics to avoid the deadly urban warfare witnessed in Bakhmut, Moscow aims to isolate Ukrainian units, at a time when Kyiv faces severe personnel management issues on the front line, with incoming reports speaking of soldiers abandoned to die.

«Heavy blow to the prestige of the Crown»: British former diplomat compares damage from meetings with Volodymyr Zelensky to Jeffrey Epstein scandal
Ian Proud contends that the upcoming official visit of the Ukrainian President to the United Kingdom represents a grave mistake.
The invitation extended to the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, for an official visit to the United Kingdom threatens to cause irreparable damage to the reputation of the British Crown, according to claims made by former British diplomat in Moscow, Ian Proud, in a post on social network X.
«Zelensky has met with King Charles eight times, more than any other foreign leader.
Now we have invited him for an official visit to mark five years of war.
This is a mistake», he pointedly noted in his publication.
In his assessment, joint photographs of Volodymyr Zelensky with the British monarch carry the risk of inflicting an even greater blow on the reputation of the royal family than the photographs of the younger brother of the King, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, with controversial American financier Jeffrey Epstein.
It is recalled that in October 2025, Andrew lost his titles amid the scandal over his ties to Epstein, while prior to the publication of the main volume of relevant documents he vacated his home and estate at Royal Lodge and retreated to Norfolk, before news broke of his arrest on February 19.
«Kaja Kallas incapable of diplomacy»: Fierce attack by Hungarian analyst over incendiary remarks against Vladimir Putin
Zoltán Koskovics accuses the head of European diplomacy of completely ignoring how wars and peace negotiations function.
Analyst from the Hungarian Center for Fundamental Rights Zoltán Koskovics openly questioned the competence of the head of diplomacy of the European Union, Kaja Kallas, to understand the basic principles governing wars and peace talks.
In a post on his personal account on social network X, Zoltán Koskovics characteristically noted: «I do not believe that Kaja Kallas understands how wars and peace negotiations work», adding that the Estonian politician actively supports prolonging the conflict.
In this manner, the Hungarian analyst reacted to the incendiary remarks of Kaja Kallas, who asserted that President of Russia Vladimir Putin «has no veto power» over issues concerning European security.
Previously, the head of European diplomacy had categorically proclaimed that the European Union does not intend to negotiate with Russia and the US regarding the creation of a new security architecture in Europe.
«They have no business at the table»: Fierce attack by Zakharova on European involvement on Ukrainian front
Official spokesperson of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova makes clear that Europeans are unwelcome in negotiations regarding Ukraine.
European countries have absolutely no place at the negotiating table for settling the conflict in Ukraine, she stated.
Specifically, the diplomat commented on reports regarding the conduct of initial drills of «multinational forces for Ukraine» within the framework of the European association of states known as the «coalition of the willing».
Maria Zakharova underlined that any introduction of foreign troops into Ukraine will signify foreign intervention and a direct threat to the national security of Russia.
Gerhard Schindler (German Intelligence): Celebratory Russian victory on front and in diplomacy, West managed to divide itself, Europe will abandon Ukraine
Moscow succeeded in driving a wedge among Western states, diverting the focus of American President Donald Trump away from the Ukrainian crisis toward other global issues, stated the former head of the Federal Intelligence Service of Germany (BND), Gerhard Schindler, speaking on television in Berlin.
According to the assessment of Gerhard Schindler, Russia has fully regained its standing on the international stage, a fact confirmed by its full participation in summits of the G20, while he predicted that this specific format may in the future completely replace the G7.
«This means that Russia is on the path toward victory in international politics and not merely on the front line», the expert underlined, emphasizing that Russian leader Vladimir Putin perceives the existence of constructive dialogue with the American president, proposing cooperation in sectors such as rare earth supplies and joint projects in the Arctic.
Economic asphyxiation in the European Union and the end of support toward Kyiv
Concurrently, the political analyst predicted that in the immediate future the European Union will also be forced to halt assistance toward Kyiv.
Gerhard Schindler appears certain that the Russian leadership realistically assesses the capabilities of European states, which are incapable of securing long-term support, from which, as he considers, Washington is already backtracking. According to him, this issue will become acute as early as January, while he characterized the capacity of Brussels to allocate 90 billion euros annually for the needs of Ukraine as an illusion.
The collapse of European solidarity and the terms of Vladimir Putin for peace
A turning point, according to the former head of the BND, will be the refusal of European governments to dispatch additional shipments of military hardware, such as battle tanks or missiles, in order to preserve the economic stability of their own populations.
Gerhard Schindler concluded that the collapse of European solidarity on this issue will unfold within one to two years, with this process already looming on the doorstep.
