With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind:

If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist.

If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist.

Pretty clear

We are still waiting for exact numbers of the Russian air attack, as drones still fly around Ukraine.

It is known that around 40 missiles + 500 suicide drones (and counting) have attacked Ukraine during the night/morning.

Kyiv's back under air alert & here's one low-flying UAV

One of fascist Russia's Shahed attack drones dives into a bus stop in Bila Tserkva, a town about 80km south of Kyiv. The drone, undamaged, was in its programmed attack dive - this was its intended target. Terrorism - down to the Nazi Stuka-bomber dive siren attached to the drone.

Putin has order continuous waves of terrorist attacks on Kyiv, targeting primarily residential buildings and civilian infrastructure. This comes ahead of the US meeting with Zelenskyy, again, in the latest round of Trump's campaign to help Russia force Ukraine to surrender.

A map of Russia's attack overnight and this morning.

Russia has been terrorizing Kyiv for more than 10 hours. As of now, it is known that 28 people were injured, 13 of whom were hospitalized.

The attack continues.

The President of the United States is very seriously mentally ill, and elected Republicans are so afraid of him that they won’t do or say anything about it.

Kyiv is celebrating Christmas. Residents of the capital gathered for caroling on St. Michael’s Square.

I’m genuinely so happy that at least part of our country can gather like this - all thanks to the people defending us this Christmas.

Estonia draws a clear red line. FM Margus Tsahkna says any so called green men crossing the border will be met with live fire, and Russian aircraft violating Estonian airspace risk being shot down. This is NATO territory. If Moscow doubts it, Tsahkna says bluntly, test us.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded to Zelensky's disclosure of Ukraine's 20-point peace plan by emphasizing that Russia's own peace terms are already well known to the United States.

“All the main parameters of the Russian side are well known to our colleagues in the U.S.,” he stated.

Anyone can read the redactions of the Epstein Files by just copying and pasting them into a word doc. The people at Trump's Justice Department are so stupid they used Adobe Acrobat to black out the documents.
