Ukraine’s Zelenskyy delivers address to Congress​

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy paid a defiant wartime visit to Washington on Wednesday to thank U.S. leaders and “ordinary Americans” for their support in fighting off Russia’s invasion and pledged there would be “no compromises” in trying to bring an end to the war. President Joe Biden and Congress responded with billions in new assistance and a pledge to help Ukraine pursue a “just peace.”

White House: Russia's Wagner received arms from North Korea

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said U.S. intelligence officials determined that North Korea completed an initial arms shipment that included rockets and missiles last month.

“We assess that the amount of material delivered to Wagner will not change battlefield dynamics in Ukraine,” Kirby said. “But we’re certainly concerned that North Korea is planning to deliver more military equipment.”

Shells pummel Ukraine's Kherson; 10 dead, 55 wounded

“This is not sensitive content — it’s the real life of Kherson,” Zelenskyy tweeted. The images showed cars on fire, bodies on the street and building windows blown out.

Yaroslav Yanushevych, the governor of the Kherson region, said in televised remarks that the number of people killed in the latest shelling of the city has risen from seven to 10.

He added that 55 people were wounded, 18 of them in grave condition. Yanushevych said scores of others, including a 6-year-old girl, were wounded by Russian shelling a day earlier.

Another Putin critic 'falls out a window' to his death


Russia's 'highest-earning elected politician' who had criticised Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine has been found dead after a mysterious fall from a hotel in India.

Sausage multi-millionaire Pavel Antov, from the main pro-Putin party United Russia, had been on a trip to celebrate his upcoming 66th birthday.

A male friend in his party had died 'from a heart attack' on Thursday last week, and the wealthy politician perished two days later.

The married tycoon, an MP in the legislative assembly of the Vladimir region, was listed as Russia's highest-earning elected official in 2019.

The Russian Consul General in Kolkata Alexei Idamkin told TASS he 'fell' out of a hotel window in Rayagada, Odisha state.

Key developments on Dec. 28:
  • Kremlin: Peace possible only if Ukraine agrees to Russia's annexation of its regions
  • Zelensky: Ukraine moving toward victory generations dreamt of
  • French Defense Minister meets Reznikov in Kyiv, pledges further military support
  • UK Defense Ministry: Russia strengthens defense near Kreminna, Luhansk Oblast
The Kremlin claimed on Dec. 28 that it would not consider a peace plan that excludes Russia’s “annexation” of four Ukrainian regions in the country’s east and south, turning down Kyiv’s proposal to end the war in Ukraine.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov’s statement dashes any hope of Kyiv-designed peace formula, which Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky introduced during his November speech at the G20 summit and includes a complete Russian withdrawal and the return of all prisoners of war.

The Kremlin’s demand concerning four partially occupied Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts comes after Russia faced a string of humiliating defeats in eastern and southern Ukraine.

Despite losing swathes of its captured territories, the Kremlin claims to have illegally annexed four regions in September.

On Dec. 28, Zelensky painted a severe humanitarian and front-line situation in the Donetsk Oblast city of Bakhmut, as a “terrible roar” of Russian artillery rages.

“There is no place (in Bakhmut) that is not covered with blood,” Zelensky, who visited the city before his Washington trip, said in a Telegram post.

Russian troops are desperately trying to capture Bakhmut because they apparently view it as “a very strong Ukrainian fortress” that needs to be “destroyed,” likely hoping to slash Ukrainians’ morale, Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar said on television.

''Multiple regions of Ukraine, including its capital, faced a massive Russian missile attack Thursday, the biggest wave of strikes in weeks, targeting power stations and other critical infrastructure during freezing weather.

Air raid sirens rang out across the country. Ukraine's military chief, Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, said preliminary data showed Russia fired 69 missiles at energy facilities and Ukrainian forces shot down 54 of them. There were no immediate reports of any deaths.

Russia dispatched explosive drones to selected regions overnight before broadening the barrage with "air and sea-based cruise missiles launched from strategic aircraft and ships" in the morning, the Ukrainian air force reported.''

''While the Ukrainian military reported success in shooting down incoming Russian missiles and explosive drones after earlier attacks, some still reached their targets. Most cities have gone without heat, internet service and electricity for hours or days at a time.

Anastasia, a medic who took shelter Thursday at a central Kyiv subway station and gave only her first name, said she was tired of the war. "We don't know how long the war will last. It's hard to be afraid every day and put your life on hold," she said.''

''90% of Lviv without power: mayorNumerous explosions also took place in Kharkiv, which is located in Eastern Ukraine and the country's second-largest city, and in the city of Lviv near the border with Poland, according to their mayors.'​
