Russia escalates attacks on key Ukrainian region of Odessa

Russia has intensified its attacks on Ukraine's southern Odessa region, causing widespread power outages and threatening the region's naval infrastructure.

Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Kuleba said Moscow was carrying out systematic attacks in the region. Last week, he warned that the focus of the war could shift towards Odessa.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said the repeated attacks were an attempt by Moscow to block Ukraine's access to naval logistics.

Earlier in December, Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened to cut off Ukraine's access to the sea in retaliation for drone attacks on tankers from Russia's shadowy fleet in the Black Sea.

The shadow fleet is a term that refers to hundreds of tanker ships used by Russia to circumvent Western sanctions imposed after its full invasion of Ukraine in 2022./ CNA
