Anger flares up over Russia’s Christmas attacks

This message from Zelensky comes after the Russian attacks in which ballistic missiles, Kinzhal hypersonic strikes and hundreds of Shahed drones were fired on Ukraine before Christmas. Three people died in these attacks and power supply came to a standstill in many cities. Zelensky said that Russia did not spare innocent people even on festive days.

Zelensky said – Ukraine does not want revenge, wants peace

The Ukrainian President also made it clear in his Christmas message that his country is not fighting only out of a sense of revenge. He said that Ukraine is struggling for peace, praying for peace and it fully deserves peace. He prayed to God for a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.

20-point peace plan and proposal to withdraw troops from Donbass

In a statement to the media after the Christmas message, Zelensky also mentioned Ukraine’s 20-point peace plan. He said that if a way is found to end the war, Ukraine is ready to withdraw its forces from the eastern industrial region of Donbass. However, he clarified that this step is possible only if Russia also withdraws its forces from the same area, the entire area is declared a demilitarized zone and international peacekeeping forces are deployed there.

Russia’s strict conditions and Kyiv’s clear refusal

At present, Russia has not given any indication of retreating from the occupied areas. Russia controls most of Luhansk and large areas of Donetsk. Putin is demanding Ukraine to leave Donbass, but Kiev has completely rejected this condition.

Reports from American intelligence agencies warn that Russian President Vladimir Putin has not changed the goals of his war on Ukraine. They want to continue trying to capture all of Ukraine and take back parts of the former Soviet empire. This information has been given by six sources related to American intelligence.

Putin wants to occupy entire Ukraine and former Soviet Bloc

According to Reuters, these reports are completely different from the statements of US President Donald Trump and his peace negotiators. Trump’s team says Putin wants to end the war. But according to intelligence reports, Putin’s intentions are the same as when he launched a full-scale attack in 2022. The latest report is from the end of September.

These results are consistent with the views of European leaders and their intelligence agencies. He believes that Putin wants all of Ukraine and the territory of former Soviet bloc countries (including NATO members). Mike Quigley, a Democrat member of the US House Intelligence Committee, said, ‘The intelligence has always been that Putin wants more. Europeans believe in this completely. The Polish people completely agree. The Baltic countries think they are the first target.

Russian army captured about 6 thousand square kilometers

Currently, Russia occupies about 20 percent of Ukraine’s area. It includes large parts of Luhansk and Donetsk provinces (Donbass industrial region), parts of Zaporizhia and Kherson, and Crimea. Putin calls all of them part of Russia. This year the Russian army has captured an area of ​​about 6,000 square kilometers.

What is the status of peace talks?

Trump’s team is working on a 20-point peace plan. His son-in-law Jared Kushner and real estate developer Steve Witkoff are talking to Ukrainian, Russian and European officials. American, Ukrainian and European negotiators in Berlin have agreed on security guarantees for Ukraine. This includes-

• Deploying primarily European security forces (away from the frontlines in Ukraine and in neighboring countries)
• Ukraine’s army limit is 8 lakh soldiers (Russia wants less, US is open to it)
• Intelligence and other help from America
• Approval from the US Senate, perhaps even US-backed air patrolling

According to some sources, this guarantee is dependent on Ukraine leaving the territory, but others say that alternative routes are also being considered. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is refusing to leave the region. He said, ‘One question has not been answered yet, what will these security guarantees actually do?’

Trump is pressuring Ukraine to withdraw its troops from a small part of Donetsk, but Zelensky and most Ukrainians are not ready to accept this. Putin said on Friday that he was ready for peace talks, but made no compromise and kept his own conditions. They oppose the deployment of foreign troops in Ukraine.

What did the officials say on this whole matter?

The White House official said that Trump’s team has made great progress in ending the war. US Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard said, ‘Russia does not want a major war with Europe and does not have the ability to completely occupy Ukraine.’

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, ‘I don’t know whether Putin wants a deal or the whole country. He has said it openly. We know what their goals were when the war started, they were not achieved.

On behalf of Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, ‘The report is false and it is not true at all.’

While talking to reporters in the Oval Office of the White House on December 15, US President Donald Trump said that I think we are now closer than ever to stopping the war. He told that he had very long and very good talks with Zelensky as well as with the leaders of Britain, France, Germany and NATO. He gave this statement after a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and several European leaders.

Ukraine should get protection like Article 5 of NATO

Ukrainian President Zelensky spoke to Trump’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and the President’s son-in-law Jared Kushner for the second consecutive day. This conversation was based on Trump’s initial proposal, which aimed to end the war. European leaders have proposed that a multinational force be deployed to enforce the peace agreement.

This will be part of the strong security guarantee supported by America. From America’s side, Ukraine can be given protection like Article 5 of NATO, that is, an attack on one will be considered an attack on all.

America will create ceasefire monitoring system

This system will monitor ceasefire violations and warn of future attacks. Ukraine’s army can number 8 lakh soldiers in peacetime and will continue to receive significant military support. Zelensky praised America’s new security guarantees, but said there are still differences of opinion on the question of leaving the areas.

Trump believes that Ukraine will have to give up some territory to Russia, but Zelensky is not ready to accept this.

Putin wants to capture areas of Ukraine

An American official said that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to occupy these areas of Ukraine. America wants Ukraine to retreat from Donbass area (Donetsk and Lugansk), but Ukraine is refusing. Russia currently controls almost the entire area of ​​Lugansk and 80 percent of Donetsk.

As of now, no agreement has been reached on Ukrainian territories and there has been no response from Russia on the new proposals. Negotiations are ongoing and US officials are saying that the offer of security guarantees will not last forever.

Ukraine will not become a part of NATO

Trump has already said that Ukraine will not join NATO. Trump had cited Kiev’s NATO ambitions as the reason for Russia’s attack. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz described Trump’s recent talks as ‘the possibility of a real peace process’ and called US security guarantees ‘important’.

Vladimir zelensky news: Several rounds of talks have been held in Saudi Arabia between the US and Russia officials as part of Donald Trump’s efforts to establish peace in the Russia-Ukraine War. However, Ukraine and European countries have alleged that Ukraine’s interests are being ignored in this peace agreement.

Now Ukrainian President Vladimir Jailonsky has given a big statement about this talk. In an interview to Time magazine, he claimed that Russia has probably affected some members of the US administration through ‘information mediums’. Jailonsky’s comment has come at a time when US President Donald Trump has accepted some Russia’s concerns about the root cause of the crisis. These include criticism of Kremlin criticism of continuous expansion towards NATO’s Russian boundaries and making Ukraine a member of NATO.

Ukrainian President expressed regret

Recently, Ukrainian President Vladimir Jailonsky has expressed concern over the phone call between Russia-US talks and especially Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. He regretted that the White House is accepting the information received from Moscow as true.

During this call, Putin told Trump that Ukraine’s army was engulfed in Russia’s Kursk area, but Jailonsky rejected the claim. He said in a conversation with Time magazine, ‘I think Russia has succeeded in impressing some members of the White House team with their words. Americans have been indicated that Ukraine does not want to end war and some steps should be taken to force it.

‘Every picture symbolizes victory’

According to Time magazine correspondent Simon Suster, during the interview, Ukrainian President Vladimir Jailonsky showed him three paintings hanging in a small room behind his office in Kiev.

One of these paintings, which he described as his favorite, indicates the Kremlin surrounded in flames. Gelnsky pointed to these pictures and said, “Every picture is about victory.”
