Russia’s latest attack on Ukraine shows maximalist war aims remain unchanged

As President-Elect Trump talks up negotiations, Putin has made clear his position hasn’t changed since launching invasion in 2022

Millions of Ukrainians woke up early on Sunday morning to a massive Russian missile and drone attack on their country’s infrastructure, the biggest assault from Moscow since the end of August and the first large-scale attack since the US election.

Donald Trump once promised to settle the Ukraine war in “24 hours” but the 120 missiles and 90 drones aimed at the nation’s utilities is a reminder that Moscow’s maximalist aspirations to cow and subjugate its neighbour remains unchanged.
