Biden promises arms deliveries to Ukraine after Russian Christmas attack
A devastating attack on Christmas Eve! President Joe Biden has described the Russian offensive against Ukraine as "outrageous" and promises a massive arms delivery to strengthen Ukrainian defense. The world looks at the dramatic developments in Ukraine, where over 170 rockets and drones were fired on the country's energy infrastructure.
on Wednesday morning, while the Ukrainians celebrated Christmas, the attacks met the nation with full force. An energy worker was killed when the Russian armed forces targeted a thermal power plant. The population was forced to look for protection in subway stations. "The purpose of this outrageous attack was to interrupt the access of the Ukrainian population to warmth and electricity in winter," said Biden in an urgent explanation.
an attack that hits the heart
"Putin consciously chose Christmas to attack. What could be more inhumane?" The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj was outraged by the attack on Ukrainian energy supply, 78 rockets from the air, the floor and the sea and 106 Shahed drones. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that 59 rockets and 54 drones were intercepted while 52 other drones could be disturbed. This was the 13th large -scale attack on the Ukrainian energy system this year and another part of Russia's winter offensive.
Russia strikes back
In the meantime, the Russian domestic intelligence agency FSB announced that he had thwarted a plan of the Ukrainian secret service that aimed to kill high -ranking Russian officers and their families in Moscow. This was done just a few weeks after the fatal attack on Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, which was killed by the Ukrainian SBU in Moscow.The situation remains tense, while the Ukrainian armed forces are under pressure in the east of the country. In the Charkiw region, near the Russian border, at least seven attacks were reported, the fires triggered in the city and demanded at least three injuries. The Ukrainian military leadership announced that it shot 20 out of 31 Russian drones in the night, but the superiority of the Russian troops is noticeable.
The world observes how the events develop. The upcoming inauguration of US President Donald Trump raises questions as to whether Washington could put Ukraine under pressure to accept a compromise that Moscow is beneficial. Time is pushing and the fights continue.
