Merry Christmas, dear friends! May your holidays be filled with peace, joy, and love. And may we, as Ukrainians, hold onto the hope that this peace and joy await us in the very near future.

🇺🇦🎄 An evening stroll, children's laughter can be heard everywhere, yes, these holidays are their favorite days.

Kremenchuk, Poltava region, Ukraine. The Christmas tree is powered by a generator, so when a neighborhood loses power, people gather with their children in the city center in the evening. The tree and decorations haven't changed, everything is just as it was before the 2022 full-scale invasion.

Despite its proximity to the russian border, Kharkiv has preserved its traditions this year as well, delighting everyone with its New Year atmosphere. Undoubtedly, our enemies wanted to see a completely different picture in the cities of Ukraine.

"The Ukrainian city of Sloviansk, 30 km from zones of active hostilities." I just want the world to see that here in Ukraine, despite the long war, people still feel the taste of life. None of us are giving up (in every sense of the word).

Zaporizhzhia today. Nothing new… everything as usual, russia does not leave the civilians of Ukraine alone and repeatedly carries out airstrikes on the cities of our country.

Kyiv is the heart of the unconquered Ukrainian nation. This emotional 40-second video, full of life and contrasts. People want to return to the feeling of peaceful life, at least for a while. Each of us deserves the right to be happy, if only for one evening.

russian FPV drones are constantly hunting Ukrainian evacuation vehicles, so our guys have to shoot them down with small arms right while evacuating civilians. For many residents of frontline cities, the "White Angels" police units and volunteers are the only chance to escape.

russian shelling may destroy our homes, but never our humanity. Right now, the residents of Zaporizhzhia, whose home was destroyed today by russian troops, are not only supporting one another but are also looking after their four-legged friends. We are holding on with all our might.

Zaporizhia right now... Another residential building destroyed by russian troops. Sometimes it seems that even the devil can be reasoned with, but not the russians.

Ukrainians need to feel the holiday spirit during this time of war. I am happy that people with children can feel the atmosphere of winter and the New Year's mood, even if just for a little while. Because it is so easy to fall into depression here, and so hard to get out of it!

… russia rejected the possibility of a temporary ceasefire during the Christmas period. However, the United States and Ukraine supported this idea. What else to add... We will continue to hold on tight; we simply have no choice!

Zaporizhzhia, today💔 At around 6 a.m., a Russian strike drone hit a 9-story building. Three people were injured. One of the injured men is in serious condition in the hospital.

Munich, right now. Today, many Ukrainian songs were sung there. Regardless of the year or the weather, people gather to express their support for my country and my people. Every crime committed by russia MUST be punished #MakeRussiaPay

Do you agree that russia must not get away with the war crimes it has committed in Ukraine? The list of russian crimes is endless. Now Munich #MakeRussiaPay #savekherson #StopHumanSafari

Some freely create good for everyone, while others freely destroy what has been built by others, and this destruction is currently happening in my country, Ukraine. Frontline Kostiantynivka - a look from the inside.

Over the years of war, many have broken down because their minds are dead set on the past: on how things were "before." Now, those who remain in Ukraine have learned the main lesson: the war won't ask if we are tired or not.

The issue of territory remains the "most problematic" in peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. - The Guardian It's simple, ALL is Ukraine.

A terrible night in Okhtyrka! A russian "Shahed" delivered a treacherous strike on the peaceful city in Sumy Oblast, the kamikaze drone slammed directly into an apartment block.

The New Year's holidays, and we, Ukrainians, also love and celebrate them. Not as loudly, not as joyfully as before the war, but all our attention is primarily focused on the children. On their eyes, which have seen too much for their age.

… my people manage to balance between war and the illusion of normal life. It is a continuous process of overcoming the difficulties of war, with many people already having lost their homes and living far from home, while the bloodstained boots of russian soldiers march across their land.

Underneath all the heroism of my people are tons of tears that have already been shed. It is hard to watch moments like this, when a Hero of Ukraine is brought home, and it is difficult to see people meeting him, kneeling by the roadside.

"Si vis pacem, para bellum" If you want peace, prepare for war. Putin wants to destroy Ukraine as a nation with its own history. When a nation is deprived of its history and collective memory, it becomes vulnerable to absorption by another nation. Wake up! 🇺🇸🇪🇺 #MakeRussiaPay Thread 1/5🧵

Will 2026 be a year of peace dictated to us, or the peace we have earned?

Kyiv, the heart of Ukraine, looks like this today. It suffers along with all the other cities of my country solely because it was ready to say-and did say-NO. No to putin, no to russia on Ukrainian territory!

This elderly Ukrainian couple did not live in a lavish house. Their home was simple, but they lived honestly, peacefully, and on their own land. You will no longer see tears in their eyes, there are simply none left.

russian FPV drones, a damned, cursed threat in the sky, over Ukrainian land. The video shows the result of the work of our Ukrainian mobile fire groups of the "Khizhak" brigade. Accuracy and bravery.

San Diego, yesterday. The city also joined the global wave of solidarity that has swept across many countries and cities. This is a voice in support of my country, Ukraine, born out of love for the Ukrainian people and hatred for russia's brutal aggression and the war unleashed by the dictator putin

Amidst all this informational internet space, when the topic of Ukraine comes up, one simply wants to write about our Ukrainian defenders about those thanks to whom we can still live and write for you.

In Ternopil, the number of death has risen to 16, with 64 wounded, including 14 children, according to the National Police. Rescue workers continue to work at the site of the russian shelling.

Now, after the russian missile strike on Western Ukraine, the city of Ternopil, a residential building... it's just fucked up! Well, how are we to live next to these sick in the entire head russian bastards?!?

Is there electricity? Partially. Is life going on? Yes! Life goes on, and it's loud! The tireless work of generators on the streets of our Ukrainian cities.
