"Russia's Shifting Focus in Ukraine Raises Winter Offensive Fears"

Ukraine reports a decrease in Russian attacks in certain areas, anticipating a shift in offensive strategy towards other regions due to freezing temperatures. Ukrainian officials suggest renewed Russian assaults in late January or early February, potentially hindered by a lack of reserves for large-scale operations. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) map shows Russian advances near Kupyansk, while Ukraine's Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) deputy chief warns of Russia's modernized Kh-101 cruise missiles. Additionally, Ukraine is believed to have carried out strikes on Russian territory, including a recent drone attack near St Petersburg, which Ukraine's military intelligence agency (GUR) is said to have conducted.
