Here is where things stand on Wed, Dec 17, 2025:

Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko reported explosions in the Ukrainian capital and advised residents to remain in shelters as air defenses responded to a Russian attack late on Tuesday. Russian forces conducted a significant drone attack on Ukraine’s Sumy region, targeting energy facilities and causing blackouts, reported Governor Oleh Hryhorov. Power outages also occurred in the Donetsk region, according to Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Energy Mykola Kolisnyk. A Russian offensive on electrical infrastructure left 280,000 households in Ukraine’s Odesa region without power, with electricity later restored to 220,000 homes, as per Governor Oleh Kiper. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, under Russian control, is receiving electricity from only one of two external power lines due to military disruptions. Russia’s Ministry of Defence claimed the downing of 180 Ukrainian drones in one day. Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs ambassador-at-large Rodion Miroshnik reported that Ukrainian attacks resulted in 14 Russian civilian casualties and nearly 70 injuries, including in Russian-occupied Kherson and Zaporizhia.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz discussed a potential European-led multinational force as part of security guarantee discussions for Ukraine, mentioning actions against Russian incursions.
