Putin responded to calls for ceasefire by launching a terrorist attack on Kyiv just before the New Year.
Right now, Russian drones are deliberately targeting residential buildings in the capital of Ukraine. There are numerous fires and destruction, and civilians are buried under rubble.
Just imagine driving to work in the morning – and suddenly a Russian missile slams into the street, killing three people and injuring eight more.
That’s what happened in Dnipro just a few hours ago.
I used to think Vitkoff merely sympathized with Putin. But it turned out to be worse: there is a KGB agent working inside the U.S. President’s administration — and even worse, Trump is fine with it. Vitkoff is such a nobody that even the Russians mock him.
Why? Why do this? I just don't understand why russians behave this way toward my country. What threat did this residential building in Ternopil pose to russians? How did these people, who were sleeping in their beds in the morning, threaten them?
A rescue operation is underway in Dnipro. Overnight, Russia struck the city, hitting an apartment building. As of now, 11 people have been reported wounded, including children. Unfortunately, one person has been killed. My condolences to the family and loved ones. Dozens of people were rescued. Tragically, one life was also lost in the Kharkiv region, and people were also injured in the Kyiv and Poltava regions. There were also strikes in the Dnipro, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv regions. The Odesa region has been under attack since the evening.
All relevant services are deployed wherever required – restoring facilities after the strikes, supporting people, and aiding the injured. Russia launched over 450 attack drones and 45 missiles of various types against Ukraine. And the terrorists’ targets remain unchanged: civilian life, residential buildings, our energy sector, and infrastructure.
This is a matter of resources for killing, of money – sanctions are needed to deprive Russia of the means to continue the war it started and keeps prolonging. We appreciate all the steps partners have already taken, but Russian strikes show that pressure must be intensified. There must be a European decision on Russia’s frozen assets, additional sanctions, and support and reinforcement for Ukraine’s defense. And for every Moscow’s strike on energy infrastructure – aimed at harming ordinary people before winter – there must be a sanctions response targeting all Russian energy, with no exceptions. So far, Russia’s nuclear energy sector is not under sanctions, and the Russian military-industrial complex still obtains Western microelectronics. There must be greater pressure on its oil and gas trade as well. We expect relevant decisions from the United States, Europe, and the G7. Thank you to everyone ready to help and act to protect lives.
“Am I going to die?” — Ukraine’s Patrol Police released a video showing officers rescuing children from a kindergarten in Kharkiv after the October 22 shelling.
⚡️ A 15-year-old girl and her family were killed when a Russian missile destroyed their home in Lapaivka, Lviv region.
Overnight, Russia fired more than 50 missiles and 500 drones across Ukraine, killing civilians and hitting homes and energy sites.
🔴 Russian forces launched a massive attack against Ukraine, mainly targeting Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Pavlohrad, and Donetsk region.
Preliminary estimates suggests at least 500 drones and two dozen missiles were deployed.
Kharkiv.
This is what Russia does as useful idiots around the world keep licking Putin’s shoes and whitewash its crimes with high-minded pseudo-geopolitical theories.
In North Carolina, where the horrific murder of innocent Iryna Zarutska was committed by a deranged criminal, the death penalty is legal. I am convinced that Decarlos Brown Jr. must face the highest measure of punishment. The life of every Ukrainian is priceless, and we have the right to demand justice for our citizens, wherever they may be. Ukrainian soldiers on the front line defend not only Ukraine, but also Europe and the free democratic world from russian aggression every single day. And those who raise their hand against Ukrainians abroad must know: their crimes will not go unpunished. If the perpetrator escapes a deserved sentence, we risk bidding farewell to the world of law and descending into a world of anarchy and lawlessness.
In Donetsk region, russians killed more than 20 people — civilians who had gathered at that moment to receive their pensions. An air bomb was dropped on them.
Earlier Trump said he had a good conversation with Vladimir Putin and that Putin definitely wants peace.
