President Volodymyr Zelensky called on Ukrainians to have “patience and faith” in a defiant Christmas address after a deadly wave of Russian strikes pounded the southern city of Kherson.
Ten months into Russia’s war on Ukraine, Zelensky spoke of endurance and pushing through to the end, while acknowledging that “freedom comes at a high price.”
He urged the nation to stand firm in the face of a grim winter of energy blackouts, the absence of loved ones and the ever-present threat of Russian attacks.
Zelensky’s message came after Ukrainian officials said Russia had launched deadly rocket strikes into downtown Kherson on Christmas Eve, killing at least 10 people and injuring dozens. Zelensky described those attacks as “killing for the sake of intimidation and pleasure.”

Intel Republic? Okay
InfoDefenseENGLISH? Great english. Russkies?
True....but why are we footing the entire bill? Where are our NATO allies’ contributions of billions?
We keep the Russians from invading Europe but let millions oinvade our southern border?
Yes, we have a hate on for the Ukrainian effort. Mainly because it is slowly destroying America,Biden took the Putin bait.
I really despise that gay globalist grifter (and Ukraine in general).
Hope he gets fragged soon.
We sent 100 billion to Ukraine last year out of a total 6.6 trillion in spending to neutralize the russian military. US also spent $360 billion on climate change, including 60 billion last year on alleviating climate change inequity.
Well Tom@tom_username said so, it must be true. Moronic
💥💥💥New Year’s gifts for residents of the Kherson region came from Rostov
At the initiative of caring Russian citizens of the Rostov region, a batch of humanitarian aid was delivered to the residents of our region
Parcels include food, hygiene items and a number of necessary everyday items💥💥💥
💥💥💥Almost 3,000,000 rubles - for this amount today we loaded and brought a lot of useful gifts for our friends in the CBO area💥💥💥
What’s with the defensiveness bro? Read the articles on the subject the reports in the amounts spent are directly from store clerks in Europe who served the lady. No one is saying that she took that cash from the American taxpayer. When you say “prove it” you’re implying there was some crime or wrongdoing afoot. THAT implies a feeling of guilt or wrongdoing. So again- why so defensive? It says a lot about you and the Zelenskys, none of it good.
What DOES have to be explained is how “Zelensky” is a billionaire. Where did the money come from? There is no known legitimate source. That makes him the same as any Russian oligarch - a dictatorial criminal and certainly unworthy of Western support. Do you support oligarchs? If not, how can you support the Z man? He’s Russian by the way, a Russian Jew - grew up speaking Russian and spelt his name as Zelenski till a decade ago. He’s a Russkie oligarch, plain and simple. Ukraine is a corrupt dictatorship fighting Russia another corrupt dictatorship. No good guys here as far as nations and leaders go. Their peoples are victims of both Putin AND the Zelenski regimes, not to mention of NATO.
And NATO claims are somehow believable? Dude Ukraine and NATO have no more credibility than Russia and Putin. Stop picking and choosing according to media propaganda - you have no idea where the shells came from.
Well since russians have been shelling Kherson since they were forced to retreat from it...
This, plus Uke photos stupidly showing HIMARS fragments, indicate yet another false flag to be touted as a Russian atrocity. .
Keeps the outrage up and the Western aid flowing
“We sent 100 billion to Ukraine last year out of a total 6.6 trillion in spending to neutralize the russian military. US also spent $360 billion on climate change, including 60 billion last year on alleviating climate change inequity.”
Excellent point. We can’t survive either of your examples of corrupt, extravagant waste.
This from the guy who shut down all the churches in Ukraine?
Post a link to ONE church closed in Ukraine. They are told they cannot be affiliated with the Moscow Patriarch. In russian occupied Ukrainian areas, no churches are allowed to be affiliated to the Kyiv Patriarch.
Wow, you embarrassed yourself with that one.
Agree. As Trump said this is genocide.
One anonymous store clerk who has never been identified, and the story never confirmed.
And asking for proof against an unsubstantiated allegation, that's likely a product of Russian disinformation, is not being defensive.
And Zelensky is not a billionaire. He made his fortune as an actor and comedian long before he became president in April 2019. You know, like our own celebrities do in Hollywood?
So yeah, show me the proof that Mrs. Zelensky did what she's been accused of. Otherwise, it never happened.
How do you prove a negative?
That never happened either.
Again you’re calling it an allegation - a word used for a crime or malfeasance. Guilty knowledge is implied. No proof is required - that applies in a court of law. There is substantiated evidence - end of story. Go ahead and prove the evidence is false if you’re so inclined. The standard isn’t proof beyond a reasonable doubt, that ONLY applies in criminal cases. It’s simply a preponderance of evidence, which clearly exists.
Zelenski is a known billionaire oligarch. Stop lying and denying. Your credibility is zero. No he didn’t make a fortune with his ridiculous “comedy” - you have to actually be good at it to make big money. He’s a clown, not a leader. He has a massive fortune and NO explanation of its origin. In any civilized country that’s grounds for investigation - money laundering, racketeering etc.
Zelenski is the Putin of Ukraine. Stop supporting known criminals and dictators. I don’t support Putin and I don’t support Zelenski. You should do likewise.
