Kyiv/Moscow - The Russian war in Ukraine has now lasted 300 days.

While Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin assumed at the beginning of the attack that he would conquer the neighboring country in a few days, Ukraine has so far withstood the aggressor and has already regained lost areas.

The east and especially the region around Donetsk is still heavily contested.

On Monday (December 19), Ukraine's Defense Ministry recorded heavy fighting again, with Ukrainian units shelling Russian positions on Monday.

At the same time, a man was killed in a Russian artillery raid on the southern city of Cherson, which was liberated from Ukraine a few weeks ago, according to the private agency Unian.

Several administrative buildings were hit in the attack.

What worries the Ukrainian authorities in Kyiv are the ongoing Russian attacks on infrastructure.

The authorities continue to struggle to supply people with heat and electricity after the latest Russian rocket attacks.

The power went out in Kyiv for ten hours.

Only about 20 percent of the residents had access to electricity.

The energy giant DTEK describes such power outages in Kyiv as a "new reality".

Russia's military strategy currently seems to be aimed in particular at supply routes for civilians.
