Summary for November 28: Russia's attack and the display of the Nutcracker.

Massive Attack by Russia: 188 Missiles and Drones Targeting Energy Infrastructure   Russian forces launched a large-scale combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine's energy sector on Thursday night. A total of 76 cruise missiles, three guided air-to-surface missiles, and 35 UAVs were destroyed out of 188 enemy targets.   In total, 12 hits were recorded, primarily affecting fuel and energy sector facilities across various regions. There are destructions in 14 regions. Buildings, vehicles, garages, private homes, warehouse structures, and a multi-story building in Kharkiv were damaged. Infrastructure facilities in the Rivne, Lviv, Kirovohrad, Kyiv, Volyn, Khmelnytskyi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Mykolaiv, and Vinnytsia regions were also affected.   Putin Threatens to Strike with Oreshnik on Kyiv   Russian forces may use the medium-range ballistic missile Oreshnik against "decision-making centers in Kyiv". This was stated by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin during a CSTO Security Council meeting in Kazakhstan, and he reiterated it at a later press conference. According to him, these could be military facilities, defense industry enterprises, or decision-making centers in Kyiv. He also mentioned the alleged start of serial production of the Oreshnik system. "In the event of mass use of the Oreshnik missiles in a single strike, its power would be comparable to that of nuclear weapons," said the Russian dictator.   The Office of the President reacted to these threats, stating that this is "a sign of simply incredible total fear from Putin." "He fears that everything will indeed end fatally for him," said Mykhailo Podolyak, an advisor to the head of the Office of the President. According to him, Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian territory are not a response to what Ukraine is doing with Western long-range missiles, but a continuation of Russia's aggressive war. Putin has been doing this since the beginning of the war and continues to do so. Later, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that "waving his oreshnik" is something Putin can only do to escalate the situation and disrupt the future President Trump's efforts to end the war.   Ukrenergo Intensified Power Outages   Ukrenergo urgently updated the electricity outage schedules during the day. It was noted that power would be cut off in four queues simultaneously until the end of the day. The company emphasized that these measures were necessitated by damage to energy facilities during the massive missile and drone attack. "Energy workers are working to restore the damaged equipment as quickly as possible," Ukrenergo stressed. On Friday, up to three queues of outages will be in effect. The most outages are expected between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM.   Tax Increases: Zelensky Signed the Law   President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky signed the law on historic tax increases passed by the Verkhovna Rada. The main provision of the law is the increase of the military tax on all income of Ukrainians from 1.5% to 5% this year and next. A military tax is also introduced for individual entrepreneurs: 1% of income for single tax payers of group III; 10% of the minimum wage for single tax payers of groups I, II, and IV (which amounts to 800 hryvnias).   Zelensky Signed a Law on the Return of Deserters   President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a law on the voluntary return to service for those who had previously deserted or left military units without permission. If they voluntarily arrive at their place of service and express a willingness to continue military service, their service and contract will continue.   The Georgian Government Announced Refusal of Eurointegration; "Euromaidan" Started in Tbilisi   Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced that the country decided to postpone negotiations on joining the European Union until the end of 2028. Following this, a spontaneous rally started in Tbilisi, which was joined for the first time by President Salome Zurabishvili. At night, law enforcement dispersed the protesters using tear gas and water cannons, but they did not disperse; instead, they built new barricades. More than 80 employees of Georgia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a joint statement condemning the authorities' decision to suspend the country's eurointegration.
