Ukraine Warns of Massive Russian Drone Ramp-Up and Prepares New Offensive

Officials describe deadly strikes on power infrastructure, leaving cities in blackout during subzero conditions.

Overview

  • Army chief Oleksandr Syrskyi says Russia is increasing weapons output with a stated goal of launching up to 1,000 drones per day against Ukraine.
  • Ukraine reports shooting down 167 of 201 drones in the latest overnight wave, yet officials say at least five people were killed and energy facilities were hit across multiple regions.
  • Syrskyi announced plans for a new Ukrainian offensive and said deep strikes have hit 719 targets, largely in Russia’s oil sector, causing about $15 billion in damage.
  • Ukraine and the United States will continue security and reconstruction talks at the World Economic Forum in Davos after recent meetings in Florida ended without an agreement.
  • A study by the Ukrainian project Frontelligence Insight reports Russian desertions doubled in 2025 and says disciplinary measures have hardened, including alleged extrajudicial punishments.
