Footage from Kyiv shows the moment a drone strikes a residential high rise in the Pozniaky district. Another direct and deliberate attack on civilian housing.

One year ago today we absolutely didn't shoot the Azerbaijani airliner, stop it landing, jam its navigation & send it out to sea in hope it sinks, leaving no evidence.

And in unrelated events, the Azerbaijanis told us to stop spreading lies about what we did not do.

Tonight, I spent a wonderful Christmas Eve with my family. But I couldnโ€™t stop thinking about the Ukrainian soldiers who are paying the ultimate price so that we can have a peaceful Christmas Eve.

Putin personally chose Steve Witkoff as a key backchannel to the U.S., per WSJ. The Kremlinโ€™s outreach came via Saudi Crown Prince MBS, who relayed Putinโ€™s interest in meeting Witkoff. After vetting Trumpโ€™s circle, Moscow settled on him, with aide Kirill Dmitriev involved in the effort.

We put Putin's 19 December speech next to Hitler's 1939 Reichstag address.

Seven steps. Same sequence. Same wording.

"I wanted peace." "They rejected everything." "I was forced to act."
