Russia just hit Ukraine with missiles and more than 200 drones in one night. 12 dead.
Dozens wounded. Children among them.
In Kyiv, a Shahed struck a residential high-rise. Eight killed.
An 10-year-old boy among the injured. Boryspil district: four dead, 13 wounded, including two children.
Civilian infrastructure damaged. Odesa region took guided aerial bombs and drones all evening and into the night.
Residential areas, energy, port infrastructure. Thousands of families without power.
Russia also hit a border crossing with Romania and export infrastructure. That is intentional.
a message to anyone still pretending this is only about Ukraine. Zaporizhzhia: two killed, eight wounded.
Then Russia struck a fire and rescue vehicle heading to a house hit earlier. Four rescuers injured.
They were going to save people. Kherson, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk.
All under attack. The Russian strategy is to hit civilians, rescuers, power, and food exports.
Terrorism is Moscow's only remaining strategy in the face of military defeat. Ukraine will not stop.
But the world needs to see this clearly.
Merry Christmas, my dear friends!
Peace, kindness, and love! ✨
May God protect you and your family throughout your life!
On this holy evening, please remember in your prayers those who will celebrate this holiday far from home, their families, and loved ones🫡🇺🇦
And also, to honor the memory of all those who are no longer with us🕯️🙏
Infantrymen Denys "Bars" and Dmytro "K2" returned from a position near the city of Kostiantynivka, where they had held the defense for 130 days.
«I liked fighting. I didn’t regret a single day that I ended up exactly here» – says fighter Dmytro. He and "Bars" had several fire contacts with the enemy and eliminated seven enemy fighters. During one of the engagements, the occupiers detected the servicemembers with a drone, and the next morning their position began to be destroyed. They were hit with FPV drones and mortars. «At the frontline, we had several fire contacts with the enemy. We killed seven enemies. The scariest moment was when our position was being torn apart».
«We hid using two alternate exits. Bars’s alternate exit was more solid than mine. When an explosion happened above me, I was covered with earth. I thought I would stay there forever underground. I managed to brace myself and lie on my side, pulling in my knees and elbows. A small space remained under my body. I started digging myself out beneath me, with a knife and my hands. Little by little, over several hours, I dug myself out enough to be able to move» – Dmytro recalls. After that, they had to change positions.
Along with them, a 23-year-old Russian servicemember, Danyla Sychov from the 242nd Volgograd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the Russian army, also left the zero line. He had been taken prisoner.
Because rotating military personnel on the Kostiantynivka direction is extremely difficult, the prisoner also could not be evacuated from the positions for a long time. He lived at a neighboring position for more than two months. Sychov helped Ukrainian infantrymen by digging and setting up dugouts. He was convinced that Russian assault troops could shoot him during another attack, as in his unit no one was taken prisoner.

Update – Civilian Fadwa Muhammad al-Kurdi, 57, was killed after being wounded in an attack by armed factions of the Damascus government on the Sheikh Maqsoud and Al-Ashrafieh neighborhoods.

russia has completely obliterated Chasiv Yar. I was here in 2023 and remember meeting my a lovely maths teacher who had a beautiful garden where she grew vegetables. These towns were full of life, history & culture. russia is erasing it all, every day. Absolutely sickening
The New York Times published Kremlin lies about Kursk, written by a Moscow journalist claiming residents were being massacred.
Yet when I was in Kursk, I filmed children playing in the streets & locals given aid.
The NYT whitewashed the Holodomor & glorified Hitlers rise so this is nothing new for the paper
We are allowing our press to be infiltrated by Russian propaganda & it’s vital to be informed and check sources
I also spoke to @Tomthescribe who was in Kursk - who echoed my above statements
@Megatron_1980 @federeteg @AlexKurnosov@YourAnonCentral Dude what are you even talking about …. They did not take more than some village and a airfield they lost twice….They got their ass kicked by a army n people taking up arms n some javelins and a bigger and more resourcefull army with aviation couldn’t even take shit..imagine
This is Ukrainian Police, issuing heavy fines for russian invaders
At first, they assault the building with russians in it, suppress enemy with fire, then place massive IEDs inside the building, get out, detonate IEDs remotely and fold the building.
Pure cinema, great operation
Ukrainian "Hornets of Dovbush" unit wipes out Russian occupiers with fiber-optic drones. Took out 2 Russians in a pipe, a cannon, a mortar, and a shelter. Seems Russians really love pipes...
