Russia has concentrated more than 800 missiles in the temporarily occupied Crimea for possible attacks on the critical infrastructure of Ukraine in the winter. This was reported by the head of the joint press center of the Defense Forces of Southern Ukraine, Nataliya Humenyuk, with reference to Ukrainian intelligence data.


The Russian army is increasing the number of attacks in the Avdiiv and Marin areas of Donetsk region. Information hype about the successes of the Armed Forces on the left bank of the Dnieper in Kherson is dangerous for the local population and, of course, for the soldiers of the defense forces. The Security Service of Ukraine has initiated criminal proceedings and appointed a number of expert examinations regarding the statements and publications of former People's Deputy Iryna Farion, the Security Service of Ukraine reported this in Telegram. Ukraine has developed a national program of preparation for joining the EU based on the report on the enlargement of the European Union. As reported by the Vice-Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olga Stefanishyna.
After 10 years, the population in Ukraine will not return to the figure of 45 million people. This is what Ella Libanova, director of the Institute of Demography and Social Research named after Ptuha, predicts. According to her, in 2033, 26 to 35 million people will live in Ukraine within the borders of 1991. Libanova emphasized that natural population decline affects all European countries without exception.
