On Wednesday, Russia attacked Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, with both missiles and drones for the first time in 73 days, forcing some residents to take shelter in the city’s metro stations deep underground. No one was killed, but the attack suggests Russia intends to intensify the psychological war it’s waging on Ukrainian civilians.

The attack also renewed fears that, with the approach of winter, Russia will again attack energy infrastructure targets in Ukraine to leave parts of the country without power or heat for extended periods. Ukraine’s state-owned national power company announced on Wednesday that new limits will be imposed on electrical supply for businesses in and around Kyiv and in the regions of Odesa, Dnipro, and Donetsk.

Outgoing President Joe Biden has signaled he will do all he can in the final weeks of his administration to help Ukrainian forces keep Russia’s military at bay and strengthen its negotiating position in eventual peace talks. Meeting in Brussels with NATO officials, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken pledged that the Biden administration will “continue to shore up everything we’re doing for Ukraine” before the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.
