Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has acknowledged that Ukraine's army lacks the strength to fully recapture territories lost to Russia since 2014, including Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye.
In a recent interview, Zelensky emphasized the need for diplomacy, stating that Ukraine cannot achieve its territorial goals through military means alone.
He also highlighted that any diplomatic solution would only be possible when Ukraine is strong enough to prevent further Russian offensives.
Despite this, Zelensky remains firm in his stance that Ukraine will not capitulate, signaling that NATO membership remains a key objective in negotiations.
Speaking during his nightly address on Saturday, Zelenskyy claimed "up to a battalion" of Russian paratroopers and North Korean soldiers were killed over a period of two days near a village in the Kursk region.

The Pentagon has confirmed that the US military aid to Ukraine will continue beyond the Biden administration, with billions in assistance still on the way. This announcement raises questions about whether a future Trump administration would uphold the same level of support for Ukraine's ongoing conflict with Russia. The pledge ensures that Ukraine will continue receiving critical military aid, including weapons and equipment, as it fights against Russian aggression. As the political landscape shifts, the question remains: will future leadership prioritize support for Ukraine?

Russia has firmly rejected a reported peace proposal from President-elect Donald Trump’s advisers that included delaying Ukraine’s NATO membership by two decades and deploying European peacekeepers to establish a demilitarized zone. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, speaking to TASS, emphasized that Moscow would not entertain such ideas, stressing the need for “reliable, legally binding agreements” addressing the conflict's root causes. Lavrov reiterated Russia's stance on a neutral, non-aligned Ukraine, citing preconditions outlined in the 2022 Istanbul talks and acknowledging territorial realities, including the integration of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye into Russia. The statement underscores the widening gap between U.S. and Russian approaches to resolving the Ukraine crisis.

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.
