Ukraine's jam-proof fiber-optic drones have hit an ancient obstacle: winter weather, which freezes the fibers, degrading ops. Meanwhile, Russian assaults intensify.

The cold months expose the weakness of drone tech, which can't win alone, warfighters say.

Ukraine’s inflation looks better. The labour story doesn’t.

Inflation eased to 8% in Dec 2025 (from 9.3%). Non-food prices flatlined (0% y/y), and services slowed (12.3%) as wage pressure “eased” — often because firms scale back when they can’t hire.

Fuel rose amid outages and generator demand.
