Sorry to quote my book, but I think this might be useful for those who still hope “to talk things out” with Putin.

Ukrainian forces shot down 34 out of 35 Russian cruise missiles overnight ✈️🇺🇦 The decisive role in stopping them belonged to F-16 fighter pilots, who successfully completed their combat missions. Overall, on the night of December 23, Russia launched 673 aerial targets against

Morning in Kyiv. A russian-iranian drone dives straight at a residential building!

Gaslighting 101 by Russia: 1) Invade a country 2) Blame everyone else for the war 3) Refuse to negotiate 4) Call them warmongers 5) Repeat

Wir haben Menschen besucht, die an Weihnachten trauern müssen. „Du schaust sie an, und eine Sekunde später sind sie nicht mehr da“, sagt uns ein Vater, der bei einem russischen Angriff Frau und Kinder verloren hat. An diesem 19. November werden mindestens 38 Menschen getötet.

Oh my God… Does it get more imperialist than this? https://t.co/22ISHU2LJs

Another massive missile strike on Ukraine from Russia. More blackouts today. A Christmas gift from a “Christian” neighbour. Yet, Ukraine is like an anthill. No matter how much 🇷🇺 destroys - the next minute 🇺🇦 ants come together & start rebuilding.

The hypocrisy of pro-Putin intellectuals of this world is usually astounding.

Exactly. 100%.

In the ruined turbine hall of a DTEK power station, shattered by russian attacks, a choir sings Shchedryk. Truly, a performance worth a million words 💔

We have a deal. Decision to provide 90 billion euros of support to Ukraine for 2026-27 approved. We committed, we delivered.

My op-ed with @TheCitizen_News. “…Ukraine is being openly pressured to accept this. At this point, there is no way to know whether and how many of these preconditions will be met. What is clear though is that once they are, it will be a different world from there on. A world
