On the morning of Thursday, December 15, the Russian invaders attacked the center of Kherson.

According to the Office of the President, the center of the city was again subjected to enemy shelling. They struck near the building of the Kherson administration, which was attacked yesterday.

According to the Regional Tercentre for Emergency Medicine and Disaster Medicine, the projectile hit the place where the point of medical care and the issuance of humanitarian aid is located.

According to "Suspilne Kherson", the dead are a 32-year-old paramedic and a 70-year-old man, who probably came for help. Two more people (a 44-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man) were injured.

The situation in the Kherson region

After the liberation of the right bank of the Kherson region from Russian invaders, in particular, the regional center - Kherson, by Ukrainian defenders, the invaders resort to constant shelling of the de-occupied territory.

Only on December 14, the Russian invaders fired at the territory of the Kherson region 86 times from artillery, MLRS, tanks, mortars and UAVs.

A massive blow was also dealt to Kherson. A shipyard, an educational institution, warehouses, premises for publishing a newspaper, a school, a store, the building of the Kherson Regional State Administration, private and apartment buildings were damaged.

As a result of the attacks, three people were killed (among them an 8-year-old boy), another 13 residents of the Kherson region were injured of varying severity.

On Thursday, December 15, the Russian invaders carried out another daring shelling of Kherson.

As a result of the attack, the city is completely de-energized.

According to the head of the Kherson Administration Yaroslav Yanushevich, at the first opportunity, the power industry will begin to restore the power grid. "Kherson is completely de-energized due to enemy shelling. Heavy shelling of a critical infrastructure facility in the Ship District of the city continues," he said. Restoration work is currently not possible.

The EU still cannot agree on the ninth package of sanctions: the probable reason is named

EU leaders are at odds over restrictions on Russian fertilizers.

At the last EU summit this year, leaders failed to agree on a ninth round of sanctions against Russia over disputes over restrictions on Russian fertilizers.

The countries moved closer to an agreement during the talks, but Poland and some other countries still had objections to the draft decision, Reuters reported, citing a European diplomat.

There is disagreement among EU leaders over whether to facilitate the export of Russian fertilizers through European ports, even in cases where the fertilizer companies are owned by blacklisted oligarchs.

Some see the restrictions as a threat to food security. Others, in particular Poland and the Baltic states, are convinced that the easing of restrictions on Russian fertilizers will be used by sanctioned oligarchs to evade sanctions.

There are also those who are pushing for the World Food Program to be involved in getting permits to export fertilizers to countries that need it. A new draft decision on sanctions is expected to be submitted for discussion on Thursday evening.

The ninth package of EU sanctions against Russia - what you need to know

On November 24, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that the European Union is working on the introduction of the ninth package of sanctions against Russia. According to her, the EU is going to hit Russia "where it hurts" to reduce its ability to wage war against Ukraine.

According to the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, in general, it was planned to impose sanctions on 200 individuals and legal entities. There were no disputes regarding individual sanctions. According to Borrell, those who are involved in the theft of Ukrainian grain and the deportation of Ukrainian citizens, and especially children, are on the list.

Also, according to media reports, the EU, in particular, planned to impose restrictions on Russian manufacturers of unmanned aerial vehicles and is considering restrictions on other technologies and components used by Moscow for military purposes.

Poland refused to support the EU package agreement, one of the points of which is the allocation of 18 billion euros of macro-financial assistance to Ukraine in 2023.

This was reported by Politico, citing four European diplomats. It turned out that Poland is not satisfied with the last paragraph of the document - the establishment of a minimum tax rate on the profits of large corporations in the amount of 15%.

In addition, the package includes support for Kyiv, Hungary's spending plan from the pandemic recovery fund, "unfreezing" some of the money for Hungary, and tax reform. However, if even one of the items is vetoed, the entire package is not accepted.

Setting a 15% minimum tax in the EU is part of the Pillar II global tax reform. It was agreed upon last year. In addition, there is Pillar I, the taxation of multinational corporations such as Google and Amazon in the countries in which they make a profit.

Now in Poland the corporate tax rate is lower than 15%. Warsaw requires the implementation of Pillar I and Pillar II at the same time. According to the authorities of the country, it is wrong to increase the tax burden on European businesses under Pillar II, without ensuring proper taxation of digital giants under Pillar I.

Poland blocked this point for a long time, but seemed to have given in for the sake of adopting a plan to support Ukraine. Despite this, on December 12, the representative of Poland at the meeting of EU ambassadors again expressed a warning. The issue is expected to be brought to the summit of EU leaders on December 15-16.

"It's like an unhealthy relationship. They keep promising that next time will be different, but deep down we know that we will be hurt again and again," one of the diplomats described Poland's actions.

Dnipropetrovsk region is completely de-energized

Due to today's missile strikes by Russians, the Dnepropetrovsk region was completely de-energized, said the chairman of the Dnepropetrovsk regional military administration, Valentin Reznichenko.

"The morning strikes by the Russians have added new problems to our energy system. The power industry is doing everything possible to stabilize it. Emergency recovery work may take longer than before. Too much damage. The area was completely de-energized," he said.

First of all, power engineers connect hospitals, sewage and pumping stations, water pipelines, and boiler houses. And only then will include homes.

And yet, fellow allies, you will not deny the fact that another Russian Ork air attack on Ukraine took place without your Hawks, without C-RAM/PHALANX, without Iron Dome, without Meteors, without Rainmetals and Bushmasters, without Vampires, without GrayEagles, without A10 and even more so without F-16, without any new NASAMS,
