Ukrainian officials say Russia is now deliberately targeting civilians, seeking to create a climate of fear and destroy morale.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been named Time Magazine's 'Person of the Year' for 2022. LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow spoke with Political Science Professor Mikhail Alexseev for some insight into the reasoning behind that.

People look out at the Dnipro River in central Kyiv on a balmy New Years Day on January 01, 2023 in Kyiv, Ukraine. "Of course it was hard to celebrate fully because we understand that our soldiers can’t be with their family," Evheniya Shulzhenko said while sitting with her husband on a park bench overlooking the city.

The strikes came 36 hours after widespread missile attacks Russia launched Thursday to damage energy infrastructure facilities. Saturday's unusually quick follow-up alarmed Ukrainian officials. Russia has attacked Ukrainian power and water supplies almost weekly since October, increasing the suffering of Ukrainians, while its ground forces struggle to hold ground and advance.

When shells hit the children's hospital on Saturday night, surgeons were operating on a 13-year-old boy who was seriously wounded in a nearby village that evening, Kherson Gov. Yaroslav Yanushevych said. The shelling blew out windows in the operating room, and the boy was transferred in serious condition to a hospital about 99 kilometers away in Mykolaiv.Elsewhere, a 22-year-old woman died of wounds from a rocket attack in the eastern town of Khmelnytskyi, the city’s mayor said.
