The Ukrainian Air Force issued a nationwide air alert early Thursday, November 28, reporting missile strikes targeting several regions.
“Air raid alert has been declared across Ukraine due to missile threat,” the source announced on Telegram, stressing that missiles were targeting the Odessa, Kherson and Mykolaiv regions in particular.
Explosions were heard in the port city of Odessa, several media outlets in the country reported. The region’s governor, Oleh Kiper, called on the population to stay safe.
National authorities have reported a “massive attack” on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
Could France send soldiers to Ukraine?
This Tuesday, Russia announced a “response” to two new Ukrainian strikes carried out using American ATACMS missiles against its territory in the previous days.
Russia has been shelling civilian areas across Ukraine since its invasion of the country began in February 2022 and has stepped up its strikes as winter approaches, particularly targeting energy infrastructure.
On the front, Moscow is also making territorial gains against a weakened Ukrainian army, less than two months before the American president-elect takes office.
Trump appoints envoy
Donald Trump, for his part, announced this Wednesday to appoint former general Keith Kellogg, 80, who called on kyiv for several concessions, as emissary to end the war between Ukraine and Russia.
“Together we will achieve peace through strength and make America and the world safe again!” the president-elect wrote in a post on his Truth Social network.
Very critical of the billions of dollars released by the United States for Ukraine, Donald Trump promised to resolve the war between kyiv and Moscow even before taking the oath of office in January, without ever explaining how.
In a memo published in April, Keith Kellogg stressed that “any future US military aid will require Ukraine to participate in peace talks with Russia.” He also called for “postponing Ukraine’s membership in NATO for an extended period” in order to “convince (Russian President Vladimir) Putin to participate in peace talks.”
