Zelenskyy lambastes Putin over Christmas strikes: ‘What could be more inhumane?’
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy strongly condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin for launching attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure on Christmas Day. Zelenskyy described the attacks as “inhumane” but vowed that they would not ruin the spirit of Christmas.
Putin’s decision to launch over 70 missiles, including ballistic ones, and more than a hundred attack drones on Christmas was met with widespread criticism. Zelenskyy highlighted the deliberate choice of timing for the attack, calling it a cruel and heartless act. The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed the “massive strike” on energy facilities supporting Ukraine’s military-industrial complex.
The strikes resulted in power outages in several regions of Ukraine, with power engineers working diligently to restore the supply. Despite the damage caused by the attacks, Zelenskyy remained resolute, stating that the “Russian evil will not break Ukraine.”
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has drawn international attention, with the United States providing significant aid to support Ukraine’s defense efforts. However, there is a growing debate among Americans and lawmakers about the continuation of aid to Ukraine. President-elect Trump has called for a ceasefire and negotiations to resolve the conflict.
In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump emphasized the need for immediate negotiations and a ceasefire to end the violence in Ukraine. He stressed the high human cost of the conflict, with thousands of soldiers and civilians losing their lives. Trump’s stance on the situation in Ukraine underscores the complexity and urgency of finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
As the conflict continues to escalate, the international community is closely monitoring the situation and advocating for a peaceful resolution. The support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity remains a key priority for many countries, with efforts focused on ending the violence and restoring stability in the region.
