Russia said on Wednesday that its forces had continued to strike Ukrainian military targets, while Ukraine reported the same day that it had repelled multiple Russian attacks.

A statement from the Russian Defense Ministry said the Russian troops struck a Ukrainian tactical missile production enterprise, a workshop building producing small bombs for drones and other strategic objectives.

Meanwhile, Russian military operations targeted Ukrainian personnel and military equipment in multiple locations, including Kharkov, Donetsk and Lugansk, while the Russian air defense systems shot down over 300 Ukrainian drones.

Furthermore, the ministry accused the Ukrainian government of four attacks on Russian energy infrastructure over the past 24 hours.

On the same day, the General Staff of Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that its forces had repelled the Russian attacks in the Pokrovsk direction.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the Russian forces continued to launch operations in the Kharkov and Sumy regions, but Ukrainian military's actions in Russia's border region of Belgorod can prevent the Russian forces from launching new attacks in the Kharkov and Sumy directions.

He also noted that in the past 24 hours, Russia launched 55 drones towards targets in Ukraine, with multiple residential areas being attacked and civilian infrastructure suffering severe damage.

China and Canada are complementary in their resources and the two countries can tap the full potential of their win-win cooperation for their good, former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien said in Beijing.

He made the remarks during an exclusive interview with China Media Group (CMG) ahead of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to China.

Carney will pay an official visit to China from January 14 to 17, the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced on Monday.

"I hope that the visit of the prime minister of Canada, it will be a new departure in the relation between Canada and China. And because of the turmoil created by the president of the United States, we are looking for diversifying our economy with other nations. And my judgment always said that China and Canada are complementary. You have the people, we have the land, we have the resources, and we have some people, too. So, we can help each other to grow in peace and prosperity," he said.

Regarding how to resolve differences, Chretien said dialog is always the best way out.

"I believe in dialog. If we have disagreement, we have to talk about it. But at the end, every nation is a sovereign nation. So, we have to respect that, too. It's internal decision by the people of China to decide the future of China like it is for the Canadians to decide the future of Canada," he said.
