Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, stressed that Russia's New Year attacks targeted downtown areas of large cities and pointed to a change in Moscow's tactics. A 22-year-old woman was badly wounded in the western city of Khmelnytskyi and later died from her wounds, governor Sergiy Gamaliy said.On New Year's Eve, Russian artillery hit the village of Naddniprianske outside the city of Kherson, severely wounding a 13-year-old boy, Yaroslav.
"The boy was evacuated to Mykolaiv where doctors are continuing to fight for his life," Yanushevych said on messaging app Telegram.The Russian pounding damaged the Kherson hospital and also left the city and the surrounding settlements without electricity. After a series of humiliating military defeats, Russia in October began targeting Ukraine's infrastructure, leaving millions in the cold and dark.
