Russia says its forces have captured multiple settlements across eastern and southern Ukraine after a week of coordinated ground advances and heavy strikes. Moscow claims pressure is mounting across several fronts, while Ukraine warns of far larger attacks ahead, particularly on energy infrastructure. As missiles and drones continue to hit targets, Kyiv confirms a delegation is travelling to Washington for renewed talks on ending the war. The battlefield momentum is now colliding with growing political tensions, as Russia echoes claims that Ukraine is delaying peace efforts. With winter deepening and air defences stretched, the war appears to be entering a sharper, more volatile phase.
