A quick summary of the latest information:

  • Ukraine’s air force expects a record number of Russian drone strikes on its territory this winter, its spokesman Yuriy Ignat said on Sunday, as Kyiv prepares for a second winter of heavy bombing of its energy system, Reuters reported.
  • According to an investigation by the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung, cited by the Kyiv Independent, Switzerland is increasingly becoming a base for Russian special services, with about 80 spies working in the country.
