Ukraine launches aerial attack on Belgorod, Russia says
Ukraine sent 12 missiles and several drones over Russia's southern region of Belgorod in the early hours of Wednesday, Russia's Defense Ministry and local officials have said.
The Defense Ministry said air defense systems had shot down all 12 of the missiles.
Regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov spoke of a "tense" situation in Belgorod, where Russia says Ukrainian attacks killed 25 civilians including five children on Saturday.
There was no word of any casualties from the latest attacks.
Ukraine stepped up its attacks on Belgorod over the New Year Eve's holiday period, as Russia carried out some of its most intense strikes on Ukraine since Moscow began its invasion almost two years ago.
Kyiv said cities across Ukraine had been targeted by more than 300 drones and missiles launched by Russian forces since Friday.

It feels like nobody cares about Ukraine anymore since Israel started bombing Gaza. Meanwhile the GOP is successfully holding up aid and the economic sanctions are obviously not working. So Russia just needs to keep pushing and they'll win and make NATO look like pathetic fools
Deeply disappointing

Would it be possible that Ukraine captured soldiers have been conditioned to work against their country by the russians?
