Forecast of situation at frontline and Russian drone attack
According to analysts from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the suspension of US military aid to Ukraine will not be catastrophic for the front but will limit the ability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to conduct offensive operations.
At night, Russian terrorists once again attacked Ukraine with Shahed-type kamikaze drones.
In Odesa, an enemy UAV damaged an infrastructure facility, leaving part of the city without electricity, water, and heat.
In the suburbs of the regional center, an elderly man was killed due to a Shahed attack.
Furthermore, Russian forces struck a civilian enterprise in Kharkiv with a drone.
