**Ukraine’s President Announces New Military Shuffles**
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced changes in the country’s military forces. The decision was made on December 2, following a recent presentation of Ukraine’s resilience plan.
The new plan aims to reform the defense sector and improve Ukraine’s ability to withstand Russian aggression. Zelensky stated that “this is not the last reshuffle,” suggesting more personnel changes will take place in the future.
**Russia Loses Hundreds of Soldiers**
According to Ukrainian sources, Russia has suffered significant losses on the battlefield. In November alone, over 45,000 Russian soldiers were wounded, killed, or captured. This number is equivalent to three entire motorized rifle divisions.
Despite these losses, Russian forces have made gains in recent weeks, taking control of over 600 square kilometers (232 square miles) in Ukraine’s Donetsk sector.
**No Talks with Putin**
Zelensky has stated that separate talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin do not strengthen Ukraine and may even improve Putin’s standing. Zelensky said this on December 2 during a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
**Ukraine Receives EU Support**
The European Union has delivered 1 million artillery shells to Ukraine, fulfilling its pledge to deliver by spring 2024. This move comes as Ukraine faces ongoing Russian aggression and seeks international support.

A recent drone attack on the Ukrainian city of Ternopil resulted in a fire in a residential building and several casualties. The attack occurred on December 2, with local officials reporting the incident.
**Other Developments**
Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry has condemned a violent crackdown by Georgian authorities against pro-EU protesters. Over 220 people have been detained in the past few days, including opposition leaders.
Russian forces launched over 300 drones at Ukraine overnight, but most were shot down or destroyed using electronic warfare countermeasures.
