This is the best summary I could come up with:


Russia is continuing to launch attacks along the entire frontline in Ukraine, Ukrainian Ground Forces Commander Oleksandr Syrskyi said on Sunday.

"We jointly made the necessary decisions and took measures to ensure the stability of our defence, preserve the lives of our soldiers, and use ammunition rationally," he wrote on Telegram.

He claimed Ukraine's army was holding the line in Avdiivka, with Russian forces relentlessly assaulting the northern Donetsk city since the beginning of autumn.

Winter weather conditions have made it more difficult to advance on the battlefield while having a grizzly impact on soldiers and civilians.

Russia fired eight ballistic missiles at Kyiv early on Monday, all of which were shot down, according to Ukraine’s Air Force.

Earlier in December, Russian Defense Minister Sergei claimed his country's army was "advancing in all directions" in Ukraine.
