Putin’s winter campaign will hit hard – but won’t decide the war

Russia’s long-range strikes on Ukraine are bigger, faster and harder to stop than ever, and Ukraine’s air defenses are stretched thinner than last winter. With new jet-powered drones and weapons designed to cut power lines, Russia appears to be preparing to leave Ukrainian cities without electricity, heat and water through the cold months.

But this winter will also be different from the previous ones. Ukraine now has the capability to strike back, so what will that mean for the war?
