Russia killed eight civilians in Kyiv tonight. A missile hit a residential block. Ukrainians say that this night's attack - on multiple cities - was one of the fiercest since the start of the war. That's how Russia reacts to appeasement: by doubling down, encouraged and rewarded for its aggression

Just tonight in Kyiv Russian drones killed three people, including a 5 year old girl. Since the ceasefire talks started, Russia intensified its attacks on Ukrainian civilians. It deliberately rejected the idea of stopping these strikes. Russia doesn't want peace.

My friend Olena and her three children had to flee their beloved Kyiv after the Russian full-scale invasion. They thought they had found safety in the US. Now, the new US administration is halting all support to Ukraine and is planning to deport 240,000 Ukrainian refugees there. Read Olena's post

Journalist Tetyana Kulyk and her husband, surgeon Pavlo Ivanchov have been killed by a Russian drone tonight in their home in the Kyiv region. While Ukraine is pressured into concessions, Russia launches hundreds of drones on civilians every night. Does this look like preparing for peace to you?

'The West's biggest mistake about Ukraine was made before the war, and it was non recognising that Ukraine belonged to the West' - Dmytro Kuleba. There would be no war if Ukraine was part of the West and wasn't seen through the Russian lens, he said

Great lecture by prof Eugene Finkel based on his recent book 'Intent to Destroy: Russia's Two-Hundred Year Quest to Dominate Ukraine'. Important to highlight that Russia's attempts to subjugate Ukraine didn't start in 2014. NATO membership/protection of Russian speakers had nothing to do with them

Viktoria Amelina was a Ukrainian writer who documented Russian war crimes - until she became a victim of one of them. A Russian missile killed her in 2023. Her unfinished book hits the stores today, just as the world is about to turn a blind eye to Russian war crimes and force a bad deal on Ukraine

Russia bombs the center of Zaporizhia city in southern Ukraine, killing 13 people. More than 60 are wounded. This is a deliberate attack on Ukrainian civilians. This is how Putin is responding to attempts to appease him.

Christmas greetings from Russia. This morning, it attacked Kyiv with a ballistic missile. One person died. Buildings in the central part of Kyiv, including St Nicholas catholic cathedral, were damaged. It's all just a game for Putin

While you were celebrating New Year, Russia kept bombing Ukrainian civilians with missiles and drones. A huge barrage of ballistic, supersonic and other missiles hit Kyiv and Kharkiv this morning. Most were shot down by air defence, some hit residential areas killing at least 4 and injuring abt 100
