Russia can stop this war by leaving Ukraine and stopping what it started.

There was never any threat to Russia from Ukraine - except that Ukraine has better infrastructure, better education, better everything- and putin wants control of it.
Russian deputy foreign minister Sergey Ryabkov:

The solution for a Ukrainian conflict has really become closer.
I think that December 25, 2025 will remain in our memory as a milestone when we actually came closer to a decision.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Conducted the Headquarters!

The Russians are trying to bypass our defensive interceptor positions through the territory of Belarus.

We see steps with “Oreshnik”, “Shahed”. It is a pity that Belarus is surrendering its sovereignty in favor of Russian aggressive ambitions.

The equipment used in strikes against Ukraine in settlements of Belarus near the border is located, including on residential buildings.

In fact, on the roofs of ordinary 5-story buildings there are antennas and other equipment that helps to direct “Shahed” at objects in our western regions.

Second: we discussed in detail the issue of financing the production of interceptors and the structure of supplies to the troops.

Third: at the next Headquarters, I instructed the General Staff to work out changes to our sky defense strategy.

Zelenskyy also stated that he remains committed to improving the terms of the territorial issue. However, if the peace plan includes "very difficult" decisions, he believes it would be right to put the entire 20-point plan to a referendum.

Speaking about security guarantees, Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine had agreed to the main parts of the documents, but that "technical issues" remained, particularly the agreement's duration. The US is proposing a 15-year agreement with extension, but Zelenskyy considers this term insufficient.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelenskyy will propose putting the entire peace plan to a referendum at his meeting with Trump, but only if Putin agrees to a ceasefire for at least 60 days, — Axios.

A senior US official told Axios that the Russian side understands the need for a ceasefire, but insists on a shorter ceasefire.

Greetings from Kyiv!

I’m a bit late today – had some rest, visited an exhibition, and walked slowly among the paintings.
We even had a spoonful of snow.

How are you after Christmas?

The request, which he received in January, stated that the clothes should be comfortable, reflect the situation in Ukraine, but look more official.

Anisimov emphasized that the change in style was not a response to a quarrel in the White House, but was planned for a long time.

The thesis of the book is that early COVID lockdowns weren't worth it and mid-COVID mitigation measures like masks, contact tracing and business closures don't work.

This is laughably false and the authors have endorsed the people now running Trump's HHS.

Neighbor: I sent my husband to Home Depot on Black Friday to get a deal on a lighted artificial Christmas tree. We brought it home and plugged it in. It immediately caught fire. It melted the plastic parts of the tree. It dropped burning
