Russian President Vladimir Putin escalated the war with a revenge-driven drone assault on Ukraine, launching more than 100 drones on December 22, a day after Ukraine struck high-rise buildings in Kazan, Russia.

NATO Accepts Putin’s Win? Eyes Ceasefire for Ukraine War as Putin Remains Defiant | Details

NATO officials are reportedly shifting their approach to the ongoing war in Ukraine, as they move away from pushing for a military victory and instead focus on helping Kyiv secure a favorable position for ceasefire negotiations. With Russian forces advancing in Donbass and recapturing territory in Russia's Kursk region, NATO allies are increasingly concerned about the conflict's sustainability and the fading morale of Ukraine’s supporters. Amid this, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has shown a willingness to consider a ceasefire, excluding territories lost to Russia since 2014, as long as NATO membership is guaranteed. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin remains defiant, refusing to discuss any ceasefire proposals, as the conflict continues to have far-reaching geopolitical consequences. #UkraineWar #NATO #Ceasefire #Putin #RussiaUkraineConflict #UkraineCrisis #Diplomacy #Zelensky #NATOAllies #UkrainePeace #PutinDefiant #Geopolitics #MilitaryVictory #WesternAllies #RussianAdvances Also Read Italy's Giorgia Meloni and Hungary's Viktor Orban Discuss Migration and Ukraine Reconstruction Efforts :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/italy-hungary-cooperation-migration-ukraine-011-4006633.html Asteroid Hits Earth, Creates A Fireball In This Country| Watch Video :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/asteroid-hits-earth-creates-a-fireball-in-this-country-watch-video-011-4006509.html Explained: What Does The Aleppo Setback Mean For Russia’s Power In Syria? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explained-what-does-the-aleppo-setback-mean-for-russia-s-power-in-syria-4005805.html ~PR.152~ED.103~HT.334~
