 Three people were killed in the Black Sea port city of Odessa and at least 15 were wounded on December 29, including two children, as Russian missiles hit residential buildings. According to the regional governor, Russia unleashed one of its biggest missile attacks on Ukraine of the war so far, killing 12 civilians, wounding dozens more in hitting residential buildings in Kiev, the south and west of the country. Officials said the vast end-of-year aerial assault comes as uncertainty is swirling. Under the scale and staying power of future Western military and financial support for Kiev nearly two years into the war with Russia, Air Force Commander Mikhail Ulshchuk suggested the strike was Russia's largest aerial barrage since the February 2022 invasion, describing it on Telegram Messenger as, the most massive attack from the air. Ukraine has been warning for weeks that Russia could be stockpiling missiles to launch a major air attack on the energy system. Last year millions of people were plunged into darkness when Russian strikes pounded the power grid. I have already felt that the house itself has started to move, because we are on the fifth floor. I realized that something terrible had happened, because the house was moving powerfully. I quickly woke up the children, the adults woke up, the wardrobe, the sofa and we went down to the parking lot. Everywhere there were already bricks, bricks, doors torn off. We went down to the parking lot, people were already running, children with dogs, with animals and so on. There were a lot of people in the parking lot, everyone was completely shocked.
