As noted in the department's summary, on December 29, 2022, Russian troops launched another wave of massive strikes against Ukraine, the primary goal of which was once again the electricity distribution network.

According to British intelligence, since October, Russia has maintained a general pattern of conducting an intense wave of strikes every seven to ten days.

Russia follows this approach, trying to destroy the Ukrainian air defense system.

"But there is a real possibility that Russia will break this pattern in order to strike again in the coming days to undermine the morale of the population of Ukraine during the New Year holidays," - according to the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain.

On the morning of December 29, Russia launched another massive attack on Ukraine, including Kiev.

According to the air force, the Ukrainian military shot down 58 out of 70 missiles launched by Russia.

On the night of December 30, Russian troops launched 16 Shahed-131/136 kamikaze drones over Ukraine, the Ukrainian Air Force Command reported.

According to his information, drones flew from the north and southeast, all 16 drones were destroyed.

5 Russian drones were detected in the airspace of Kyiv, reported the Kyiv City Military Administration.
