  1. >Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia on Tuesday of violating an agreement with Donald Trump to hold-off on attacks on Ukraine’s energy systems in the depths of a freezing winter, as its forces carried out large-scale airstrikes on Kyiv on the eve of three-way talks in Abu Dhabi.

    >Ukraine’s president said Moscow carried out a massive and “deliberate” attack overnight as temperatures in Kyiv plunged to -20C. It involved a record number of 71 ballistic missiles as well as 450 drones, he said, sent to destroy energy infrastructure.

    > “Taking advantage of the coldest days of winter to terrorise people is more important to Russia than turning to diplomacy,” Zelenskyy said. He called on western partners to step up the supply of missiles for air defence systems in order to protect “normal life”.

  2. Zelenskyy, please payback in kind to Russia. There’s no peace with Russia until RasPootin is out of the equation.

    There are no truces. It’s all just delaying tactics. The Ukraine is just a gift from Trump to Putin. A taster of things to come, should the world not stop him – because the US cannot control themselves.

    Trump: Hold off for a week.
    Putin: I will hold off until next week.

    As stupid as this is, it’s likely what happened based on reporting last weekend.

  6. I don’t know shit about this war, but i think i’ve read that the truce was only until Feb 1. Please correct me if i’m wrong

  7. I bet Drumpf told Putin to bomb kids specifically. He’s doing over there what he wishes ICE could here

    Lmfao (haven’t typed that in a decade, but it’s warranted) at Trump-brokered. That clown can’t and won’t broker shit. Every deal he makes is vapid and useless. They ALWAYS make things worse. He’s never made a good decision because he only makes decisions for himself. He’s a malignant narcissist.

    Reminds me of Azerbaijan with their ‘cease fire’ when they were killing innocent Armenians. All fascists think alike.

    You poor man when are you going to realize Trump does not give a shit about you or your country. He only cares about favoring Putin.
    Stop trusting him.
