The British Defense Ministry said in its daily intelligence update on Ukraine that Russia's recent transport movements indicate that Russia has "likely moved" its strategic air defense systems from its Baltic coast enclave of Kaliningrad.
This move from Kaliningrad which is surrounded on three sides by NATO member states highlights "the overstretch the war has caused for some of Russia's key, modern capabilities."
Saturday was Holodomor Remembrance Day in Ukraine, a time when Ukrainians remember the famine that starved several million people to death in the 1930s because of Soviet policies.
The Holodomor - which means "death by starvation" in Ukrainian - was a deliberate policy of Josef Stalin that Ukrainians, along with more than 30 countries, consider genocide but something Moscow denies.
On Holodomor Saturday, Kyiv was rocked by Russia's largest drone attack since its invasion of Ukraine in February of last year. Ukraine said it shot down 74 of the 75 Iranian-designed Shahed drones launched by Russia in a six-hour air raid.
Five people, including a child, were wounded in the attack, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko's Telegram post. Sixty-six of the drones were downed over Kyiv, Ukraine's air force said. The damage caused power outages for 17,000 people, a city official said.
"It looks like tonight we heard the overture. The prelude to the winter season," Serhiy Fursa, a prominent Ukrainian economist, wrote on Facebook.
Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said Russia has carried out 911 attacks, killing 19 Ukrainians and wounding 84 across the country in the last week.
"The enemy is intensifying its attacks, trying to destroy Ukraine and Ukrainians," he said in a post on the Telegram messaging app. It was doing so deliberately, "just like 90 years ago, when Russia killed millions of our ancestors."
