More than 30 dolphins dead in southern Russia oil spill, animal rescue group says
Fuel oil spilled out of two tankers nearly three weeks ago in the Kerch Strait, about 250 kilometres from Sevastopol on the southwest of the occupied Crimean Peninsula.
In one of the most intense escalations of the conflict, Russia faced a massive wave of Ukrainian drone and missile attacks on New Year’s Eve. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, 68 drones were intercepted across multiple regions, including Bryansk, Crimea, Krasnodar, and Smolensk. The assault targeted critical infrastructure, with a drone strike in Smolensk causing significant damage to an oil depot, resulting in a fuel spill and fire. Kursk Region also witnessed a missile strike that damaged an apartment building and left one elderly woman injured, though she declined hospitalization. Russian officials accused Ukraine of attempting to disrupt holiday celebrations and spread panic.

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.
