This raises monumental questions about how Ukraine will navigate through the winter season - if Ukrainian energy infrastructure remains defenseless and is destroyed, it will lead to a humanitarian catastrophe and a massive wave of migration into the EU.
Some of the missiles Russia used during its overnight attack were Iskander-M ballistic missiles equipped with cluster warheads. The use of cluster munitions is intended to maximize destruction and increase the number of casualties by dispersing dozens of submunitions around the impact site.

Fehlende Abwehr gegen russische ballistische Raketen bleibt die Schwäche der Ukraine. Putin nutzt das brutal aus und produziert immer mehr zivile Todesopfer. Das wird den Krieg nicht für Russland wenden. Europa kann dem ständigen Mord an Zivilisten nicht weiter einfach zusehen

As the US government has given signals it would support a Moroccan invasion of Spanish territory to punish PM Sanchez, Rabat has been increasingly emboldened. Despite being an integral part of Spain, Ceuta & Melilla are not covered by NATO's article 5 because they're not in Europe or North America.
Spain sweats over its isolated territories in Africa
There are increasing doubts over who will have Madrid’s back if Morocco makes a move on the Spanish exclaves of Ceuta and Melilla.

"Morocco is not named once in the Council readout, with this omission looking less like an information gap than a decision" writes @julienhoez.eu. It "reads like a choice to keep a fragile but necessary relationship out of the public record rather than a genuine gap in what ministers understood."
European leaders embarassed themselves over Ceuta
Sanchez' Spain swiftly dealt with the incursion of 60,000 Moroccan migrants sent to Ceuta as part of Morocco's hybrid warfare strategy, and after showing zero solidarity, anti-EU leaders backed down.

(1/2) Was für ein Armutszeugnis: Katherina Reiche ignoriert bei der Debatte über die EU-Methanverordnung Umweltverbände gänzlich „Das ist fatal: Europa brennt, Flüsse vertrocknen, und Katherina Reiche will Gasförderung, egal wie dreckig und klimaschädlich“, sagt Grünen-Politiker Michael Kellner.

Europe's centre-and-far-right leaders chose to use an attack on an EU member state as a chance for cheap political points rather than show solidarity. A stark contrast to how they reacted when migrants were used as weapons against Poland by Belarus/Russia.
Ceuta exposes Europe's chronic lack of unity
An EU member state was attacked, with migrants used as weapons in a seemingly orchestrated manoeuvre. Giorgia Meloni and other leaders across Europe chose to blame the country being attacked.
