Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, has told the World it must apply more Pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin, to End the War, after He said Moscow’s Forces had Launched a “Massive” Overnight Attack into Tuesday, with Hundreds of Drones and Dozens of Missiles, causing at least Three Deaths, including a Little Girl.
The Latest Large-Scale Attack comes as Indirect Peace Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, Brokered by the U.S., are making to Slow Progress. The Fragile Process is Largely Stuck on Two Issues: Territorial Concessions and Ukrainian Security Guarantees.
Ferocious Russian Attacks Increase the Pressure on Ukraine to make Painful Compromises, as Trump (R) is urging Kyiv to do, to Halt the Devastating Wwar. But Moscow also Risks Losing Trump’s Favor with such Strikes, which could Lead to more Punishing U.S. Sanctions on its Ailing War Economy, if the White House does Not think the Kremlin is serious about Peace.
“This Russian strike sends an extremely clear signal about Russia’s priorities. A strike ahead of Christmas, when people want simply to be with their families, at home, in safety,” Zelensky said in a Post on Telegram, Originally in Ukrainian.
“A strike carried out virtually in the midst of negotiations aimed at ending this war. Putin cannot accept the need to stop killing. And this means the world is not applying enough pressure on Russia. Action is needed now. Russia must be forced toward peace and guaranteed security.”
A Woman died in the Kyiv Region and another Person in Khmelnytskyi. A Four-year-Old Girl Died in Zhytomyr, when aRresidential Building was Struck by a Drone.
Zelensky said the Strikes Hit Energy and Civilian Infrastructure. He had Earlier proposed a Christmas Truce on Energy Strikes to Shield Civilians on either Side from Blackouts and Unheated Homes during the Bitter Winter Months, which Russia Rejected.
The Kremlin has Repeatedly Ruled-Out Temporary Ceasefires, saying Ukraine would use a Pause to Regroup and Rearm, while it is Losing on the Battlefield. Instead, Russia says it wants a Peace Agreement that Ends the Fighting to be Comprehensive and Permanent.
During the Latest Russian Attack on Ukraine, neighboring NATO-Member Poland, Scrambled Fighter Jets. Poland also put Ground-Based Air Defense and Radar Reconnaissance Systems on “the highest state of readiness” to Protect NATO Territory, Warsaw’s Military said. Earlier in the year, Poland Shot Down what it said were Russian Drones Violating its Airspace.
On Monday, a Russian General was Killed in a Car-Bomb Attack in Moscow. Russian Authorities said they are Investigating if Ukrainian Intelligence Services were behind the Bombing. Sarvarov, 56, was Head of the Operational Training Directorate of Russia’s Armed Forces General Staff.
