📝 Drafting

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has proposed extending martial law and mobilization until January 29, a move that would keep the country on its current war footing through the worst of the winter. On the front, the Institute for the Study of War reports tactical advances by Ukrainian forces on one section of the line, even as Kyiv insists it will not discuss troop numbers with its allies in Washington. The air campaign continues to be a matter of statistics and survival. Russia launched 140 drones and four missiles overnight; air defenses intercepted all but 28 of the drones and one missile. The strikes left nine people injured across Zaporizhzhia, Chernihiv, and Kharkiv. While the interceptions remain high, the air force warned that Russia now has the capacity to launch 300 ballistic missiles a month. Domestic preparations for the cold are behind schedule. Kyiv officials admit the city's reserve boiler houses will not be ready for the start of the heating season, with work expected to take another two months. In the capital's boardrooms, interest in borrowing has cooled as banks tighten requirements, suggesting that even new central bank incentives are struggling to find a market.
