On the night of December 29, the Russian federation launched one of the largest missile attacks on Ukrainian cities and villages since the entire period of its full-scale invasion.
According to preliminary information, Russians used about 158 weapons units: missiles of various types and attack UAVs. The massive attack hit Kyiv, Lviv, Dnipro, Odesa, Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi and other Ukrainian regions.
A maternity hospital, a school, an apartment building, a kindergarten, a post office, a metro station and a shopping center are just some of the civilian objects that the Russian army attacked. Dozens of people were killed and injured in the shelling. The search for those who are trapped under the rubble continues.
Russian troops are fighting Ukrainian women, children, the elderly, and civilians. The crimes that Russia has committed in Ukraine today are its revenge for its inability to turn the tide of the battle in the fight against the Ukrainian defense forces.
We call on the international community to unite all efforts to stop the Russian genocide of the Ukrainian people. No talk of a “truce”, “temporary relinquishment of territories”, “fatigue”, “negotiations” and other “concessions” will stop Russian aggression, but will only inflate its scale. Russia is not considering any other scenarios than the complete destruction of Ukraine.
In this context, we are deeply grateful to our partners who have provided our country with air and missile defense equipment. Today, your help has saved many lives.
The only possible way to protect Ukrainians is to provide Ukraine with all the necessary military and financial means to defend itself. Russian terror must lose, and Ukraine must win.

Chuck Pfarrer, former squadron leader of SEAL Team 6, explains why Russia, despite having more than 2x more troops than Ukraine, is failing to make headway in Ukraine, amidst signs that Russian soldiers are becoming ever more disgruntled - even having recently stomped-to-death one of their own colonels.
Pfarrer, a special correspondent for the Kyiv Post, who has advised the “full alphabet soup” of US national security agencies and is a leading figure in the analysis of the war in Ukraine, lays out the case as to why things are going in the right direction for Kyiv - something that even many Russian military officers would be forced to begrudgingly accept.
Chuck Pfarrer is a former squadron leader of the US Navy SEAL Team Six. He has served public and private sector clients as a military and counter-terrorism contractor and non-proliferation expert. Pfarrer has written extensively on counter WMD proliferation and gray zone operations. He has written an op-ed for the New York Times and the Knight-Ridder Syndicate and has appeared as a writer and counterterrorism expert on CNN, ABC, MSNBC, Fox, CSPAN, NPR, Voice of America, Al Jazeera, Al Hurra, IPR, and America tonight.
