Zelenskyy's Christmas message: A call to peace in Ukraine

Here are the dramatic developments on 1,035. Day of the Russian invasion in Ukraine!

On Wednesday, December 25th, the events in Ukraine and around the conflict overturn. The situation is tense and the effects are devastating.

in the city of Kryvyi Rih, the hometown of President Wolodymyr Selenskyj, has asked a Russian rocket attack at least one life and violated 15 people. A woman was saved alive under the ruins of a destroyed house - a ray of hope in the middle of the destruction! The tragedy once again shows the brutal consequences of the war for the civilian population.

Russian attacks and international reactions

• The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russia attacked 60 drones the night before. 36 of these drones were shot down, 23 stopped by electronic warfare. Another example of the constant threat that hovers over the country!
• In another shocking incident, an Australian man, Oscar Jenkins, was captured by Russian troops. A Video shows him with tied hands while being hit by a Russian. The Australian government is working on a solution - the world is watching intensified!
• A Russian court sentenced Pavel Levchenko to 22 years in prison because he was involved in sabotage files in the Crimea. This shows the hard hand of Moscow against every resistance!

The location is not only tense on the battlefield. Payments for injured soldiers were deleted in the Transbaikal region in Siberia. Instead, the money is to be used for medical treatments. Another proof of the devastating consequences of the war for the soldiers and their families!

Christmas greetings and political messages

• President Selenskyj used his Christmas address to send a clear message to Vladimir Putin. He criticized the warlike statements of the Russian president and made it clear that the Ukrainians want peace and security in their own country. "We only need to live peacefully on our own country," said Selenskyj.
• In Italy, the government has passed a law that extends support for Ukraine by the end of 2015. A strong sign of solidarity in these difficult times!
• The United States has hired its Global Engagement Center (GEC) activities after the financing has not been extended. This could have an impact on combating disinformation in connection with the war.

The events in Ukraine are an urgent wake -up call for the world. The fights continue and the civilian population suffers from the consequences. The international community must remain vigilant and stand up for peace and justice!
