Since Russia began targeting Ukrainian infrastructure in October, it has fired about 1,000 missiles and iranian drone.

Russian President Vladimir Putin continued to consider a larger attack on Ukraine and met with generals on Friday.Ukrainian military leader General Valery Zaluzhny told economist He believes Russia will send about 200,000 additional recruits to Ukraine in early 2023.

Zaluzzhnyi expects the brunt of the deployment to be aimed at Kyiv.

“I have no doubt they will try again in Kyiv,” he added. “I know how many combat units I have now, how many combat units I have to create by the end of the year — and most importantly, don’t touch them in any way right now. No matter how difficult it is.”
