On November 28, 2024, Russia launched a significant missile barrage against Ukraine, resulting in widespread power outages and damage to critical infrastructure. This attack, involving over 90 missiles and 100 drones, was framed by President Putin as retaliation for Ukraine's use of Western-supplied missiles against Russian territory. The conflict intensifies as both sides prepare for further escalations ahead of the upcoming U.S. presidential transition.
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has escalated significantly since the invasion began in February 2022. Recent developments include Ukraine's use of U.S. and U.K. long-range missiles against Russian targets, prompting retaliatory strikes from Russia, including the deployment of new missile technology.
