Russian milbloggers tied to the Kremlin say Ukraine made major gains in Kupiansk — and accuse the military command of lying to Putin and faking battlefield success. Even they admit Russia’s reports no longer match reality. euromaidanpress.com/2025/12/25/i...

🇺🇦 Today, I woke up to the sound of explosions in Kharkiv at 5am, did 16 TV/radio lives, in 3 languages, for audiences in Europe, Africa, North America & Latin America. Two lives occurred with explosions in the background (I was sheltered), confirming Russia's unreadiness for peace. Merry Christmas

🔴Explosions in Kharkiv were heard moments ago, as I had just joined @newstalkfm.bsky.social to talk about how, seen from the ground, there is no sign that Russia wants to stop its war against Ukraine. While others continue to draft peace documents, Moscow continues unabated to destroy Ukraine.

🔴 Russia is attacking Kharkiv, there is a series of explosions as an air raid alert just set off.

La noche pasada, Rusia atacó a Ucrania y sus infraestructuras energéticas, matando a tres personas y dejando a millones de personas sin electricidad. Según Zelenski, esto demuestra una vez más la falta de interés de Moscú en cualquier intento de paz. Mi análisis 👇 www.france24.com/es/video/202...

Suite à l'assassinat en plein coeur de Moscou d'un général russe, les soupçons se portent sur Kyiv, qui n'a pas confirmé une opération. Le renseignement ukrainien est cependant coutumier du genre & plusieurs haut-gradés russes en ont fait les frais... 📽️Mon analyse👇 www.france24.com/fr/info-en-c...

🇺🇦 Last night, Ukraine was once again pummeled by Russia, which used 650 drones and over 30 missiles to further destroy the country's infrastructure. Western regions have been particularly impacted, three people were killed and millions deprived of electricity. www.france24.com/en/video/202...

🧵Tous les ans à cette période de l'année, je vois passer des rétrospectives professionnelles ou plus personnelles sur les réseaux sociaux, dans ce qui me semble souvent être une course effrénée pour se mettre en avant, pour sortir du lot à tout prix, ou simplement pour se rassurer soi-même. 1/

@emmanuellechaze.com a fait le point sur la situation en Ukraine avec @janictremblay.bsky.social

🇺🇦🇨🇦 En Ukraine, cette fin 2025 est plus que difficile pour des millions de personnes vivant sous le danger constant du feu russe. Alors que Washington parle de dialogues constructifs en vue de la paix, sur place, rien n'a changé pour les Ukrainiens👇 ici.radio-canada.ca/ohdio/premie...

On @newstalkfm.bsky.social to talk about the EU's €90bn loan to help secure Ukraine's budget in the next two years. As EU member states didn't agree to use Russia's frozen assets, @halushka.bsky.social 's words of EU playing legal chess with Moscow came to mind 👇 www.newstalk.com/podcasts/hig...

...what a shocking development. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

The russians have opened ticket sales for the Mariupol Drama Theater — the same place they bombed in 2022 w/ hundreds of people inside. The first performance is scheduled for Dec 25. On the bones of Ukrainians, they plan to stage a "fairy comedy" titled A Gorgeous Wedding. Via: Mariupol council.

War doesn’t just destroy buildings—it erases places where children learn, play, and grow. Bellingcat and journalists from @afp.com bureaus in Paris and Kyiv take a look at the lost spaces of youth in Ukraine. www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/12...

NEW: The Kremlin is setting conditions to reject the Ukrainian and European peace plan drafts after it previously rejected key points of the US-proposed 28-point peace plan that overwhelmingly benefitted Russia. (1/4) Other Key Takeaways ⬇️

Russia destroyed 100% of Odesa’s energy infrastructure. All substations were destroyed by missiles and drones. The city has been completely left without electricity, hot water, and heating for over one million people, including all critical infrastructure.

Anyone complaining about European rearmament as escalatory simply doesn’t understand Ru. Ru invades the unarmed and the neutral (Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine). It hasn’t dared invade a NATO member, no matter how small. If Ru does attack NATO, it will be because it perceives its members as unprepared.

💔 Mock executions, electric shocks and dog attacks: Human Rights Watch accuses Russia of systemic torture of Ukrainian POWs

For more than three years, Ukraine has endured Russia’s relentless campaign against its energy infrastructure. While Europe has supported Ukraine with equipment and financing, Kyiv is now returning the favor by advising European states on how to protect their grids.

🇺🇦 En pleine guerre, au musée Khanenko de Kyiv, l'exposition 'Africa Direct' montre aux Ukrainiens les similitudes entre leur histoire, leurs combats et ceux de plusieurs pays du continent africain pour atteindre leur indépendance. 🎧 Mon reportage pour @rfi.fr rfi.my/CG3N

OUI. Je le repète depuis des lustres: l'armée russe n'est PAS en train de réaliser des avances foudroyantes dans sa campagne d'agression. Militairement, Moscou s'est emparé d'~1%-2% du territoire ukrainien depuis 2022. On repassera pour l'opération-éclair de 3 jours👇 www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

"Seven German journalism students tracked Russian-crewed freighters lurking off the Dutch and German coast—and connected them to drone swarms over military bases." Well done by the students. How come the authorities didn't figure this out? Or did they just not tell us about it?

🎧 On @newstalkfm.bsky.social I talked about Ukraine’s counter-proposals to the US plan regarding the peace Washington believes it can broker with Ukraine’s aggressor. Kyiv & its allies want tangible security guarantees to ensure Ukraine’s protection in the future 👇 www.newstalk.com/podcasts/hig...

De fait, la France a déjà perdu des enfants, en Ukraine, parmi ceux qui se sont engagés librement dans l'armée ukrainienne. Leurs photos remplissent le carré français du mémorial de la place de l'Indépendance à Kyiv. Certaines familles n'ont ni corps, ni information pour pouvoir faire leur deuil.

⚡️Russia pounds Ukraine’s Kremenchuk with missiles, drones in second strike in a week. The attack comes less than a week after Russia launched a massive combined strike against Kremenchuk on Dec. 7 that damaged several energy facilities.

💡 Hier chez moi à Kyiv il y a eu 4h d'électricité en journée, puis 3h entre 23h & 2h du matin. Le bruit des générateurs & leur odeur sont insupportables. Comme les nuits sans alertes sont inquiétantes - le calme précède d'autres attaques - j'ai fait mon ménage fini à la lampe frontale vers 3h 🧟‍♂️🔦

Aujourd'hui pour caler des rendez-vous à Kyiv, on se cale sur le calendrier des coupures de courant, pour être sûrs de pouvoir recharger les batteries chez soi pendant les 3 ou 4 heures où il y a de l'électricité.

An example of today's power outages schedule in Kyiv. It varies from one district to another and it is subjected to changes depending on how the repairs go. In short, we have 3 or 4 hours of electricity during daylight. 🗓 Provided by DTEK, 1st private provider of electricity in the country.

⚡️Ukraine regains part of Pokrovsk as 'defense continues,' Syrskyi says. Ukraine has recaptured 13 square kilometers (5 square miles) of territory in Pokrovsk after previously having no troops left in the city, Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said during a Dec. 9 press briefing.

Me right now trying to find a quiet spot in the flat, far from the sound of generators and from the ventilation of my Ecoflow, so as to record a radio piece.

Je reviens d'une semaine de travail en France, 1ère sortie d'Ukraine depuis un an. Certes, les nuits calmes font du bien, mais pour moi le manque de prise de conscience du danger de guerre en Occident par beaucoup est tout aussi violent que vivre sous les bombes russes. Bref, soulagée d'être à Kyiv.

"We are the only buffer between Europe's cozy 'Russia is weak' theory and reality. When it breaks, your generals will call Article 5 'a political decision.' Your soldiers will refuse to fight. It's your war too. You've just outsourced the dying." euromaidanpress.com/2025/12/05/i...
