Russia is using new technology in its attacks on Ukraine
Russia has launched an experimental medium-range ballistic missile, named Oreshnik, targeting a Ukrainian military facility. This action follows Ukraine's use of long-range Western weapons against Russian targets, prompting Russia to revise its nuclear doctrine. President Vladimir Putin claims the Oreshnik missile is invincible, traveling at ten times the speed of sound, and warns of further strikes against Western military installations. The situation is complicated by the upcoming transition to President-elect Donald Trump, who has expressed intentions to negotiate an end to the war. The development of Oreshnik is partly attributed to the collapse of the INF Treaty during Trump's previous term.

Ukrainian Drone War Shakes Up Russian Society
Ukraine is leading the world's first full-scale drone war against Russia, showcasing innovation in drone production and tactical success. Despite Russia's larger resources, it struggles with outdated technology and global sanctions, relying on Iranian drones. Ukrainian drone attacks have targeted Russian military and energy facilities, challenging Russian propaganda and highlighting societal differences between the two nations. The Kremlin's centralized power structure and secrecy hinder its drone warfare capabilities, while Ukraine benefits from civil society involvement. Western support, particularly long-range weapons, remains crucial for Ukraine to maintain its advantage and potentially shift the war's outcome.

As Ukraine's birth rate plunges, here's what one doctor is doing to reverse the trend
Ukraine faces a demographic crisis exacerbated by the ongoing war with Russia, leading to a significant drop in birth rates. Dr. Stefan Khmil, an OB-GYN, is actively working to counter this trend by offering free reproductive services to military personnel, allowing them to preserve their reproductive cells. This initiative aligns with a new law signed by President Zelenskyy. The war has displaced millions, and the country's population has been declining since its independence in 1991. Efforts to stabilize and increase the birth rate are crucial for Ukraine's future, as highlighted by the stories of individuals like Viktoriia Onyshchuk and Svitlana Teleniuk, who are determined to have children despite the challenges posed by the conflict.

Despite Belarusian President Lukashenka's alignment with Putin, a direct Belarusian invasion of Ukraine is deemed unlikely due to domestic and military reluctance. The article highlights the strategic use of Belarus by Russia for military support and as a diversionary tactic, while Ukraine remains focused on its offensive, viewing the Belarusian threat as a bluff.
