Russian attacks for Christmas: Ukraine is fighting for survival!
The dramatic developments on 1,036. Day of the Russian invasion in Ukraine!
Another chapter of terror: On Thursday, December 26th, fierce battles broke out again around the strategically important city of Pokrovsk in the east of Ukraine. The Ukrainian armed forces report 35 Russian attacks in the area. Viktor Trehubov, the regional commander of Ukraine, urges: "Three Russian armies are concentrated here against us!"
The location continues! On Christmas Day, Russia started a massive attack on Ukraine - with a terrifying combination of cruise rockets, ballistic rockets and drones. The consequences are devastating: at least six people were injured in the northeastern city of Charkiw, and another life was lost in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The governors of the affected areas report an ruthless attack!
International reactions and military support
Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj condemned the "inhumana" attack in Russia, which comprised over 170 rockets and drones and paralyzed the power supply in several regions. US President Joe Biden is also outraged: "This outrageous attack aims to deny the Ukrainian people in winter and to endanger access to warmth and electricity and to endanger the safety of the power grid." The British Prime Minister Keir Starmer speaks of an "ruthless attack, even at Christmas".
In the middle of these attacks, Biden has commissioned the US Department of Defense to further increase arms deliveries to Ukraine. The international community stands together to support Ukraine in this critical period!
Diplomatic tensions and regional security
The tensions increase! A Russian cargo ship sank in international waters in the Mediterranean, and the Russian state company who owns the ship speaks of a "act of terrorist". Who is behind this attack? The questions remain open!
In addition, the Russian opposition politician Ilya Yashin, who was released in August as part of a prisoner exchange, is placed on the search list. Yashin, who is 41 years old, was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison at the end of 2022 because he denounced the "murder of civilians" in the Ukrainian city of Baltic.
The world looks at the developments in Ukraine, while the fights continue to romp and the international community is trying to stability and peace. The situation remains tense and unpredictable!
