Ukrainian forces hit an oil terminal, a pipeline, two parked jet fighters and two ships in a series of strikes on Russian soil, officials said Monday.

Russia’s Ministry of Defense said only that its forces shot down 41 Ukrainian drones overnight, three of them over the Krasnodar region.
Meanwhile, Russian forces kept up their targeting of Ukraine’s energy sector, aiming to deprive civilians of heat and running water during the frigid winter. Russia has tried to knock out power in Ukraine throughout the war, in a tactic that Ukraine refers to as “weaponizing winter.”

The completely dastardly, underhanded, and unforseeable use of Eastern European winters as an element of warfare, three and half years into the current Eastern European war.
What a joy it must be, to constantly see the world anew, unbeholden to history

Genuinely baffling. I feel like any random person would answer "winter" if asked "what happens with wars in Russia". It's repeated so often it's probably been a meme for a couple centuries now.
They've been saying nonsense about this war every winter, I remember the first winter of this war they were claiming Russian soldiers were so ill-equipped that they would freeze to death because none of them were equipped with winter coats.
