This follows an 18 December strike that destroyed a MiG-31, two Nebo-SVU radars, an S-400 radar, and a Pantsir system

There are a lot of stories like this that seem not to effect the overall narrative of the war for some odd reason.

Europe muddled through. It hammered out a compromise solution-- 90bln (instead of 300), which will keep Ukraine's defense going, but Ru's intimidation tactics worked and the assets are only frozen, not used. This is slow (too slow?) progress towards grasping the true gravity of the Ru threat.
If Europe doesn't manage to achieve consensus on taking Ru's frozen assets and giving them to Ukraine, then its strategic, moral, and self-preservation instincts are weaker than I thought. I'm a big believer in the European project, but failure here will be a bad sign for its future.

Putin doth protest much too much about Zelenskyy’s Kupyansk selfie video. The Russian dictator pretends not to care but made a point of attacking the video in detail today. He’s clearly furious and embarrassed that Zelenskyy exposed his repeated lies about the capture of the city

Zelenskyy’s selfie video in Kupyansk was a masterclass in wartime messaging that made Putin look ridiculous by exposing his repeated lies about the capture of the city. One week later, the Kremlin is still clearly furious and is posting conspiracy theories in a bid to save face

‼️Russian shadow fleet struck in the Mediterranean by SBU quadcopters

The Qendil was struck and disabled, and GRU Unit 29155 commander Maj. Gen. Averyanov was reportedly demilitarized.

There will be no safe places for the Russian aggressor as long as the war continues.

Russian invasion of Ukraine is the logical consequence of the unpunished invasion of Georgia.

Russian ​invasion of Europe will be the inevitable result of Impunity in Ukraine, if allowed.

So correct, so obvious, and still beyond the comprehension of the U.S. own government.

With Russian oil now below $40 per barrel, they have a serious problem.

🔹2025 budget originally expected $69.7/barrel, then $56: under $40 is a severe hit to finances
🔹2025 break-even estimate per barrel is $46: every barrel loses money

Expect a major crisis in 2026.📉💥

‼️After the submarine strike in Novorossiysk this week, the panicking Russians blocked in their own fleet to protect them from Ukrainian drones.

Several barges were sunk in the entrance to the military harbour.

The Black Sea Fleet has officially surrendered the Black Sea.

Russian economic collapse: military plants have also stopped paying workers.

The situation is so bad inside Russia now that even strategic military manufacturers are running out of money, and workers have been unpaid for over 3 months.

A lot is going wrong, all at once.🍿🍿🍿

€210 billion of Russia's money sits frozen in Brussels. Zelenskyy just told EU leaders: not using it tells Putin aggression pays.

"We should not be afraid of Russian threats—we should be afraid of Europe being weak." ⤵️

Putin has called European leaders "little pigs":

"Everyone assumed that within a short period of time they would destroy and dismantle Russia. And the European little pigs immediately joined in the work of the previous U.S. administration, hoping to profit from the collapse of our country”

Greetings from Kyiv.

Today, I visited the exhibition Art is Everywhere – showcasing prints by Ukrainian artists, past and present.

It’s held at the Central Department Store (yes!),
and everyone can buy an art print there. I love this idea.

An air raid alert is on in Kyiv, and I’m showing you the Didukh.

A traditional Ukrainian Christmas symbol made of grain sheaves, it is brought into the home on Christmas Eve and represents ancestors, family continuity, and gratitude for the harvest.

Yesterday, I told you about the Didukh, a traditional Ukrainian Christmas symbol made of grain.

Today, I’m showing you works by a different artisan, and they’re stunning.

Should I continue sharing Ukrainian artisans and traditions?
