Russian troops conquer villages: Ukraine strikes back!

Here are the dramatic developments on 1,026. Day of the Russia Ukraine War.

On Monday, December 16, the situation in Ukraine was bubbling like never before!

The Russian army reported the victory over the village of Yelyzavetivka in the Donetsk region, a strategically important point, only 10 kilometers south of Kurakhove, a city that is rich in resources and is also in the sights of the Russian troops. But that's not all: the village of Shevchenko also fell into the hands of the Russian soldiers, as the state news agency TASS reported, who called Denis Pushilin, the head of the region used by Moscow.

The offensive continues! The Russian Ministry of Defense proudly announced that he had taken control of the villages of Veselyi Hai and Pushkino. And as if that weren't enough, they claimed to have destroyed four patriot air defense systems. But Ukraine strikes back!

Ukrainian counterattacks and dramatic developments

In a night full of chaos, Russia started 49 drone attacks on Ukraine. The Ukrainian Air Force shot 27 of these drones, while 19 others disappeared into the dark. But that's not the end of the story! The Ukrainian military secret service reported a devastating goal: at least 30 North Korean soldiers who were stationed by Russia near the villages of Plekhovo, Vorozhba and Martynovka were killed or wounded.

The Ukrainian security authority SBU has started a daring operation to destroy 40 wagons with fuel for the Russian troops in the Zaporizhzhia area, which is now 70 percent under Russian control. And in the meantime, a Ukrainian drone attack has hit a basis of the Russian National Guard in Chechnya, which was confirmed by Chechen guide Ramzan Kadyrov. Another proof of Kiev's determination to maintain the pressure on Moscow!

political machinations and international reactions

In Moscow, President Vladimir Putin announced that the Russian army conquered Ukrainian settlements this year. In 2024 he described the “milestone year” for the goals of special military operation. Defense Minister Andrei Belousov triumphed and explained that the Russian troops have pushed Ukrainian forces from almost 4,500 square kilometers of territory and win 30 square kilometers a day.

The international community does not remain idle! The Foreign Minister of the European Union have approved the 15th round of sanctions against Russia in order to prevent the bypass of existing measures and to weaken the Russian defense industry. Norway announced that 2.7 billion crowns ($ 242.38 million) will be available to strengthen the Ukrainian Navy and deter the Russian naval forces in the Black Sea. "It is crucial to protect the Ukrainian population and infrastructure from attacks by the Russian Black Sea fleet," said Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.

In the middle of all this turbulence, the question remains: How will this conflict develop? The world watches averted!
