Russian state news agency RIA Novosti quoted investigators as saying two people were killed and two wounded in a Ukrainian attack on a supermarket in the Russian-controlled Donetsk region, as war in Ukraine grind on.
Denis Pushilin, who leads Russian-controlled parts of Donetsk, said there was “confirmed information” that four people were wounded in the attack. He accused the Ukrainian military of firing US-supplied HIMARS missiles into the supermarket area during the morning rush hour.
A Ukrainian security service source said a Russian ammunition depot and a drone depot were hit in a drone and missile attack from Ukraine. The source from the security service of the SBU reported that a joint operation with the navy had begun.
Russian officials said an industrial facility near the village of Chaltir in Russia's Rostov region, bordering Ukraine, was on fire after a drone strike, without elaborating.

Germany said a heavily laden tanker sailing off its northern coast was part of a “shadow fleet” used by Moscow to avoid sanctions on oil exports. The 274-metre Eventin, carrying almost 100,000 tonnes of oil, was reportedly drifting and “unable to manoeuvre” in the Baltic Sea.

The US and the UK imposed additional penalties against Russia's energy sector in an attempt to further limit funding for Moscow's war in Ukraine. Sanctions were also imposed on two of Russia's marine insurance providers: Ingosstrakh and Alfastrakhovani.
US President Joe Biden said the new sanctions imposed on Russian oil will have a profound effect on Russia's economy. Biden also spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, saying he thinks there is a “real chance” Ukrainians will prevail against Russia because of the cost this war has had on Moscow.
“It is now clear that President (Vladimir) Putin's war against Ukraine is a disaster for Russia. “Thanks to the courage and determination of the Ukrainian people and with the support of the United States, Russia has been unable to achieve any of its strategic objectives in Ukraine,” the White House said in a statement.

Russian insurance company Ingosstrakh said US sanctions would increase the risk of environmental catastrophes. “The removal of Ingosstrakh from the market creates a vacuum that will inevitably be filled by underserved insurers who have no capacity or intention to comply or pay claims,” it said.
Gazprom Neft, also hit by UK sanctions, said it would continue to operate and maintain business sustainability despite the measures, which it called “unjustified, illegitimate and contrary to the principles of free competition”.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said he would hold talks with Putin after Washington announced sanctions against a number of energy companies, including a Serbian firm. Petroleum Industry of Serbia (NIS), the majority owner of Russia's Gazprom Neft and its parent company, Gazprom, is the sole supplier of gas to Serbia and the majority owner of the two pipelines that transport gas from Russia to households and industries in Serbia.

The German government is conflicted over whether to approve new $3.1 billion in military aid to Ukraine, the Spiegel weekly reported on Friday.
Ukraine received $3.1 billion from the European Commission as part of a major aid package pledged by the leading economies of the Group of Seven (G7). The G7 and the European Union aim to provide Ukraine with a $50 billion loan secured by interest income on Russian state assets frozen in the West.

The downing of an Azerbaijan Airlines plane shows that flying over Russia poses a “high risk” to civilian flights amid the war in Ukraine, the EU's aviation safety agency said. The agency renewed its recommendation to airlines to avoid flights over western Russian airspace.
Germany's government will propose allowing the military to shoot down suspicious drones operating illegally in the country under certain circumstances, according to a document seen by DPA.

Poland has identified a Russian group tasked with influencing Polish elections through disinformation and fomenting instability, Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski said. Warsaw claims that its role as a supply hub for Ukraine has made it a target for spies working for Russia and its ally Belarus, as well as for sabotage.
Moldova's breakaway region of Transnistria said it was “relying” on Russia to help it overcome an unprecedented energy crisis triggered by the suspension of gas supplies from Moscow last week.
Transnistria has extended its state of emergency for another month as it grapples with an energy crisis after losing access to Russian gas supplies that have fueled its economy for decades.
Thousands of people protested in cities in Slovakia against the Ukrainian policy of Slovak left-wing populist Prime Minister Robert Fico. Demonstrators accused Fico of pursuing a pro-Russian course and of “betraying” Western allies and neighboring Ukraine.

President Biden's administration has renewed deportation relief that currently covers 900,000 immigrants from Venezuela, El Salvador, Ukraine and Sudan, a move that would delay any attempts by President-elect Donald Trump to change those protections.
