One of Ukraine's most senior military officers said that nearly 400 clashes have taken place between Ukrainian and Russian forces in the eastern regions of Ukraine this week.
Catch up on other key developments in the war:
US issues new sanctions targeting Russians tied to Putin: US President Joe Biden's administration rolled out new sanctions on Thursday targeting Russian-appointed proxies in Ukraine, more than 20 Russian governors, and a wealthy Russian oligarch who is believed to be close with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the State Department and the Treasury Department announced on Thursday.
Shelling wipes out energy in Kherson: The southern Ukrainian city is "completely disconnected" from power supplies amid Russian attacks, according to a local military official. Kherson has been hit with fatal shelling 86 times in the past 24 hours Yaroslav Yanushevych, regional head of the Kherson military administration, said.
"Massive strike" on occupied Donetsk: Ukrainian forces carried out the biggest attack on the occupied Donetsk region of the country since 2014 on Thursday, according to a Russian-installed mayor. CNN cannot independently confirm Aleksey Kulemzin’s claims.
US Patriot missile warning: Any shipment of US Patriot missiles to Ukraine could "lead to unpredictable consequences," the Russian Embassy in Washington said Wednesday, after US officials told CNN the White House is finalizing plans to bolster Ukraine's military arsenal. Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova said Thursday that Washington’s potential delivery would increase the risk of the US military’s direct involvement in the Ukrainian conflict, according to state news agency TASS.
Possible next steps in Moscow's mobilization: Brig. Gen. Oleksiy Hromov, deputy chief of the Ukrainian military's Main Operational Directorate, said Thursday that Russia is stepping up production of munitions and would likely bolster its mobilization with migrants. Hromov said Russia is increasing munitions "by reducing the quality of products, as well as by activating the conclusion of agreements with other countries."
Russia publicizes intercontinental missile: In a further sign of the importance it attaches to its strategic nuclear deterrent, the Russian Ministry of Defense released video of a "Yars" ballistic missile loaded into a silo launcher in the Kaluga region, ahead of Russia's "Day of Strategic Missile Forces."
Looking ahead to 2023: In a series of interviews with The Economist, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his top commanders say they expect a new offensive by Russia early in the new year – but are in no mood to compromise on their ultimate goals. Zelensky repeated that Ukraine’s aim was to retrieve the land it held when it became independent in 1991 — including Crimea.
