President Zelenskyy: "Putin publicly lied claiming that Russian forces had already taken the city. So, I went to Kupiansk myself to show the world, Putin is lying. We must keep exposing every single Russian falsehood because truth restores justice."

Russian drone struck an apartment building in Zaporizhzhia, setting dozens of homes on fire. At least three people were injured.

This has never been done before by anyone.

Although it may be convenient and even profitable for those pushing Ukraine to give Russia what it is unable to take militarily, Europe isn't interested in handing the Russians the primary tool they need for a massive war on the rest of Europe. The EU's Kallas explains.

⚡️For the first time in history, Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) struck a Russian submarine with “Sub Sea Baby” drones in Novorossiysk⚡️ The target was a Varshavyanka‑class (Kilo) submarine. The drones inflicted critical damage, effectively disabling the vessel.

The Donbas isn’t Putin’s end game. If he gets it, he will demand more. We know this from history and we should learn from history. Extract of my doorstep ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council ↓

Odesa is still without power

​Kyrylo Budanov with Belarusian opposition figure Maria Kalesnikava, who was released from a Belarusian prison along with 113 political prisoners and transferred to Ukraine. ​The group of released people includes five Ukrainian citizens.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Budanov reported on the details of the preparation of a special event to release civilians who were in Belarus. Thanks to the active role of the US and the cooperation of our intelligence, about a hundred people are now being released, including five Ukrainians.

Odesa and the surrounding region endured one of the most massive russian attacks, with around 300 drones and missiles targeting port, energy, gas, and industrial infrastructure. Power, internet, and mobile service are down across the region. #Ukraine #UkrainianView

Odessa hat heute Nacht den wohl massivsten russischen Luftangriff im diesem Krieg erlebt, mit riesigen Folgen für die Stromversorgung. Russland „kümmert“ sich zum 1509. Mal um das Wohl der russischsprachigen Bevölkerung. Wenn man nach der Auslöschung des Donbas überhaupt noch welche Beweise braucht.

For the first time since WWII, the US is not on our side in Europe. It has sided with the aggressor against Ukraine and European security, seeking to mediate with Russia. The US no longer sees itself as NATO’s leader and treats Europe as a strategic target. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/w...

The EU just decided to indefinitely immobilise Russian assets. This ensures that up to €210 billion in Russian funds stay on EU soil, unless Russia fully pays reparations to Ukraine for the damage it has caused. (1/2)

🇺🇦👀 Budanov: Ukraine will either become part of the new world or create a new one. The second option is not suitable for anyone.

‼️ Trotz allem sind die Soldaten, mit denen wir gesprochen haben, überzeugend: Die Lage in Pokrovsk ist nicht so hoffnungslos, wie es von außen scheinen mag. Doch gerade jetzt, im kritischsten Moment, muss die Ukraine zeigen, dass sie bereit ist, bis zum Ende zu kämpfen. — Bericht der BBC Teilt es!

❗️Russia carried out more than ten drone strikes on Sumy’s energy infrastructure, causing a blackout across the city.

Russian attacks across Donetsk Oblast killed four people and injured seven, including a 7-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy in Kostiantynivka. Video taken in Kostiantynivka #Ukraine #UkrainianView

Last night, russia launched a massive attack on Dnipro and the surrounding region, killing one civilian and injuring five others, including two children.

Three people were killed and ten injured in russian attacks on Kharkiv Oblast today.

The new US National Security Strategy, in its predictable and characteristic ugliness, is a good occasion for Europe to finally let go of the time-consuming transatlantic crisis management efforts and start focusing on a proper and proactive own strategy instead.

Russland greift weiter massiv ukrainische Infrastruktur an: zerstört Bahnhöfe und Energieversorgung, nimmt den Menschen Licht, Wasser und Wärme. Ukrainische Züge fahren trotzdem. Vielleicht ist das die Definition von Resilienz.

“If we allow Russia to come out of this conflict as a victor, we have all lost” - very important and timely words from Czech President Petr Pavel. The cost to stop a growing evil today will always be lower than the cost to stop it tomorrow. And not just in money.

Russia destroyed the central warehouse of a pharmacy network in Dnipro — a facility built just last year and storing medicines for over 500 pharmacies across Ukraine.

On St. Nicholas Day, homes in Sloviansk look like this — shattered by russian airstrikes. Six civilians were injured.

The Trump administration released its latest National Security Strategy--and one thing that can be said is that there is no more pretending. It’s a plan to weaken European unity, to make Europe MAGA, to force Europe to take economic dictation by the USA…. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

❗️Four unidentified military-style drones breached a no-fly zone and flew towards the flight path of Ukrainian president Zelenskyy’s plane at Dublin Airport. Sources have said that the drones took off from the north-east of Dublin, possibly near Howth, and flew for up to two hours.

❗️For days, russian troops have been pounding the Kherson CHP plant with drones, artillery, and various weapons — a purely civilian facility that kept the city warm. The plant has stopped operating. Over 40,000 people — 470 buildings — are now without heat.

Russia carried out massive air strikes on residential areas of Slaviansk. Eight people were injured, including two children.

Ich habe in all den Jahren unzählige Texte zu Andrij Jermak geschrieben. Das hier ist nun wohl der ultimative Hintergrundbeitrag zum Abschied, in dem ich es versuchte, Jermaks Rolle im System Selenskyj möglichst breit und objektiv zu beschreiben. ukraineverstehen.de/das-ende-ein...

Russia destroys the homes of Ukrainians every single day. Most of these losses remain unseen, but for each family, they are life-shattering. These are some of the homes destroyed in Kharkiv Oblast in the last 24 hours. Six civilians were injured.

In Kramatorsk, residential building is on fire following a russian shelling!

The death toll from the russian missile attack on Dnipro has risen to four. 22 more people were injured.

The EU's Kaja Kallas calls for increased military support for Ukraine.

Nach Angriffen auf Wohngebiete in Kyjiw und Ternopil mit vielen Toten, darunter Kinder, töten Putins Truppen heute Zivilisten in Dnipro, darunter auch wieder Kinder. Russische Kriegsverbrechen völlig offen, während wir uns nach „Einlenken“ und „vernünftiger Einigung“ sehnen.

The number of injured in russian missile attack on Dnipro has risen to 40. Eleven of them are in critical condition. Four people were killed.

Russian drones can now fire missiles, media report. Today, for the first time, russia used a drone equipped with an R-60 air-to-air missile — a new attempt to shoot down Ukrainian helicopters and aircraft that intercept Shaheds.

Mit dem heutigen Tag beginnt wohl der bisher schwerste Winter in der modernen Geschichte der Ukraine. Noch mehr Durchhaltevermögen als in den Jahren zuvor wird von der Bevölkerung verlangt. Die große Hoffnung ist, dass der Winter ähnlich wie in den letzten Jahren vergleichsweise mild ausfällt.

At 10 a.m. on Monday, when Dnipro’s streets were full of people starting their day, russia fired an Iskander missile at the city. As of now, three people are confirmed killed and eight injured.

Putin will nicht "etwas Land" sondern die Existenz der Ukraine beenden. Man muss endlich aus der Illusion heraus, man müsste nur die Ukraine zur Abgabe von etwas Land drängen und dann gäbe es Frieden. Damit die Ukraine überhaupt verhandeln kann, braucht sie Sicherheitsgarantien.

Two people were killed and over 30 were injured in a russian attack on Kyiv last night.

Kyjiw erlebte heute Nacht wieder den längsten Luftalarm in diesem Krieg: 10 Stunden und 31 Minuten. Ein weiterer russischer Angriff auf die Energieanlagen, um die Hauptstadt unbewohnbar zu machen. Zu Hause kein Strom und kein Leitungswasser. Heizung funktioniert aber irgendwie. Kleines Wunder.

Russian drone hit an apartment building in Kyiv!
