Ukraine's president says Russia is planning a protracted campaign of drone attacks in a bid to demoralise Ukraine.

Volodymyr Zelensky said he had received intelligence reports suggesting that Moscow would launch the attacks using Iranian-made Shahed drones.

It comes after Ukraine carried out a strike that it said killed hundreds of Russian soldiers in the Donbas region.

In an extremely rare admission of battlefield losses, Russia said the attack killed 63 of its troops.

Speaking from Kyiv in his nightly address, Mr Zelensky said Russia planned to "exhaust" Ukraine with a prolonged wave of drone attacks.

"We must ensure - and we will do everything for this - that this goal of terrorists fails like all the others," he said. "Now is the time when everyone involved in the protection of the sky should be especially attentive."

Russian drone strikes on Ukraine appear to have increased in recent days, with Moscow launching attacks on cities and power stations across the country over the past three nights.

Mr Zelensky said Ukrainian air defences had already shot down over 80 Iranian-made drones in the opening days of 2023.

Russia has been targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure for several months, destroying power stations and plunging millions into darkness during the country's freezing winter.

Elsewhere, Ukraine has confirmed it carried out a strike in the occupied region of Donetsk, which it earlier claimed killed 400 Russian troops.

Russian officials contested the figure, saying only 63 troops were killed. Neither claim has been verified, and access to the site is restricted.

The Ukrainian attack on New Year's Day hit a building in the city of Makiivka, where Russian forces were stationed.

It is extremely rare for Moscow to confirm any battlefield casualties.

But this was such a deadly attack, says the BBC's Russia editor Steve Rosenberg, that staying silent probably wasn't an option.

It is the highest number of deaths acknowledged by Moscow in a single incident since the war began 10 months ago.

In a statement on Monday, Russia's defence ministry said Ukrainian forces fired six rockets using the US-made Himars rocket system at a building housing Russian troops. Two of them were shot down, it added.

Igor Girkin, a pro-Russian commentator, earlier said that hundreds had been killed and wounded, although the exact number was unknown because of the large number still missing.

The building itself was "almost completely destroyed", he said.

He added that the victims were mainly mobilised troops - that is, recent conscripts, rather than those who chose to fight. He also said ammunition was stored in the same building as the soldiers, making the damage worse.

"Almost all of the military equipment was also destroyed, which stood right next to the building without any disguise whatsoever," he wrote on Telegram.

Girkin is a well-known military blogger, who led Russian-backed separatists when they occupied of large parts of eastern Ukraine in 2014. He was recently found guilty of murder for his part in the shooting down of flight MH17.

Despite his hawkish stance, he regularly criticises the Russian military leadership and their tactics.

Several Russian lawmakers have also strongly criticised military commanders over the attack, saying commanders must be held to account for allowing troops to concentrate in an unprotected building within range of Ukrainian rockets, where ammunition may also have been stored.

Sergei Mironov - a former chairman of the Russian Senate - said it was obvious than neither intelligence nor air defence had worked properly.

According to the Ukrainian military's earlier statement, 300 were wounded in addition to the estimated 400 killed. Ukraine's army claims, almost daily, to have killed dozens, sometimes hundreds, of soldiers in attacks.

A later statement from the Ukrainian military's general staff said "up to 10 units of enemy military equipment" were "destroyed and damaged" in the strikes, and that "the losses of personnel of the occupiers are being specified".

Ukraine has not confirmed the strikes were carried out with Himars missiles, maintaining a long-held strategy of not releasing specific details about its attacks.

Ukraine’s fresh offensive in Kursk has as soon as once more showcased its ability to defy expectations,
highlighting Russia’s vulnerabilities even as
potential peace talks underneath a Trump administration loom.
As Trump prepares to take office, one key ally that have to be brought into sharper focus is Germany.
Keep up-to-date with Kyiv Post’s newest quiz overlaying essentially the
most vital tales over the last seven days.
Most PCT is obtained illicitly via on-line sources or peers and so the verification of energetic hCG or SERM substances
inside these merchandise usually cannot be confirmed [28].

Piatkowski et al. additionally reported on concerns about the legitimacy of AAS or PCT
substances used. The men interviewed felt that if the legitimacy
of gear could be confirmed it might encourage
safer practices and reduce potentially harmful adverse effects [33].
The considerations highlighted on this study could also be preventing
cessation in many men and are due to this fact a goal for cessation programmes.

In abstract, our research supplies novel insights into the experience of AAS cessation and the perceived good factor about PCT on symptoms of AAS-induced hypogonadism.
Respondents of our anonymous survey self-reported physical and neuropsychiatric symptoms of hypogonadism which improved with self-administered dianabol oral pct use.
The data from this study is important for firstly planning
future well-designed randomised managed research to compare the effectiveness
of cessation versus hormonal treatment in managing AAS-induced hypogonadism.

If you have to push previous limitations and
feel you’ve reached a brick wall with your progress,
HGH can get you previous that point and on to expertise
outcomes that aren't in any other case potential solely with
steroids. Your HGH dosage will largely depend on whether or not
you are utilizing steroids with it and what targets you've.
Males might want to take as much as 8IU every day to
see maximum muscle growth with HGH when utilizing it with steroids.
This requires using HGH for several months to maximise its full potential.

This contrasts with the spike in HGH that may happen when taking pure exogenous
growth hormone. Somatostatin, the growth hormone inhibiting hormone peptide,
prevents a blood sugar improve by inhibiting the release of HGH.
This peptide will primarily decrease the effects of HGH – downregulating its cell proliferation effects.


Progress hormone is very useful for skilled steroid customers who have achieved a
excessive level of physique enhancement and the place further development or progress seems
to have come to a halt using steroids. The addition of
HGH can propel the superior bodybuilder beyond present limits when utilized in combination with powerful steroids.
HGH will stimulate the production of IGF-1 – an anabolic hormone that is highly helpful to us
as bodybuilders.
An Anavar dose of 80mg day by day and T3 at 75mcg daily will serve the pre-contest user extraordinarily properly in acquiring a hardened,
very lean physique with minimal physique fats
by the end of the cycle. Females will use HGH for a range of causes – both for its skin and anti-aging benefits and better sleep or for proper fitness and physique results.
Women can count on comparable results and outcomes to male customers of HGH when it
comes to rejuvenation, restoration, and fats loss. The results males can count on will once more heavily depend
on the purpose of use.
HGH-X2 is a authorized and safe various to Somatropin,
a human growth hormone (HGH) type. HGH is well-known for its capacity to promote
lean muscle acquire and fat burning, however utilizing actual synthetic HGH places your health at important risk if it’s not undertaken precisely and carefully.
HGH-X2 naturally stimulates the release of HGH instead of
immediately injecting synthetic HGH into the body.
HGH is, in spite of everything, a naturally occurring hormone, and by providing your physique with an exterior source (and
usually a higher amount), you might wonder if this
affects your pure development hormone operate.
Nevertheless, this apply has no goal proof of effectiveness to lessen the severity
or period of hypogonadal signs. HGH is mostly thought of much less dangerous than most anabolic steroids, with less probability of
severe side effects. This solely applies to smart use of HGH,
though, including average doses and never using HGH constantly over intervals of years
– as that is where very critical well being impacts can come along.
HGH is nearly all the time used in a stack as a result of that’s where it is
most helpful. Steroid customers will usually stack HGH with Anavar for cutting and fat loss stacks.
For muscle constructing and energy stacks, Testosterone will be included, as will stronger steroids like Trenbolone.
HGH can considerably improve the results of
anabolic steroids as a end result of its ability to promote tissue growth.
