Kiev's attacks against Russian territory also affect Moscow's virtual network, while missile and drone raids on the border regions continue daily. According to what some sources told the Ukrainian media, a group of hackers from Kiev, probably with the support of intelligence, hacked the internet provider 'M9com' and demolished the servers, with the result that part of the Russian capital was left without internet and TV.
And Ukrainian raids continue on the Belgorod region – the most affected in recent weeks – with three seriously injured in 24 hours. Faced with the intensity of these attacks, the Kremlin promises that the Russian army will “continue to do everything” possible to stop the bombings, Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
However, missiles continue to rain down in Ukraine too. And the general winter is also causing the Ukrainian people to bend, with temperatures dropping to -15 degrees in many parts of the country, which have contributed to leaving more than 1,000 cities and villages without electricity in nine regions, the operator Ukrenergo reported . The Ukrainian network is in fact suffering from attacks on energy infrastructures, which in any case are less intense than last year: today the Russian strategy focuses on weapons depots, while Kiev is unable to find certainties regarding Western aid supplies. The New York Times reported that White House and Pentagon officials have warned that the supply of Patriot missiles could soon become unsustainable: It takes between $2 million and $4 million to build a single rocket. The 50 billion in security aid for Kiev remains blocked in the US Congress. And Volodymyr Zelensky's government is still waiting to receive a 50 billion euro package from the EU, blocked by Hungary's veto.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin takes a 'no comment' line on the White House and Kiev's accusations of having used North Korean weapons in the attacks on Ukraine, and actually points the finger at Ukrainian forces for bombing “civilian sites” in the territory Russian, “including the Belgorod center”, with “projectiles and missiles manufactured in Germany, France, Italy, the United States and other countries”.
Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin is preparing for re-election in the Russian vote in March, where no surprises are expected: the tsar has dominated the political system and the media unchallenged for twenty years, during which he has managed to eliminate dissent even by imprisoning his political opponents.
