- Karim Khan was in Ukraine to examine Russia’s missile-and-drone campaign against infrastructure, which killed hundreds and deprived millions of electricity or water.
- Russia calls the attacks legitimate strikes against military targets; Ukraine portrays them as a means of intimidating ordinary people.
- In Vyshhorod, a missile strike in late November killed eight civilians; it remains unclear whether it targeted and missed a nearby power installation.
- More than 70,000 alleged war crimes have been reported; the vast majority are expected to be handled by Ukrainian courts.
Responding to Russian crimes in the face of this aggression exactly in terms of the rule of law and through the power of an international court is what will serve as one of the guarantees of the long-term future security of both Ukrainians and other peoples.— Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Ukraine's President, said in his nightly address.
