Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky may press criminal charges against former military chief Valery Zaluzhny if he challenges him for the presidency in the upcoming election.
Despite the ongoing conflict with Russia, Zelensky plans to run for re-election, capitalizing on his current 52% approval rating.
Zaluzhny, currently Ukraine's ambassador to the UK and considered Zelensky's main rival, has not revealed any political ambitions.
However, sources suggest Zelensky’s administration has offered Zaluzhny a prominent role in his party if he refrains from running.
If Zaluzhny enters the race, he could face investigations, including one related to the fall of Kherson to Russian forces in 2022.
Ukrainian forces have dealt a significant blow to Russia's military infrastructure by launching a major attack on an oil depot in the Saratov region. The strike, which took place hundreds of kilometers from the front lines, targeted a critical depot that supplied fuel to the Engels-2 military airfield, home to Russia's strategic aviation units.
The attack, carried out with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), has set the oil depot ablaze and severely disrupted Russia's fuel supply chains, crucial for military operations. Ukrainian officials have confirmed the strike’s success, emphasizing its impact on Russian logistics.

The Ukrainian military faces a significant challenge as dozens of soldiers from the elite 'Anne of Kiev' Brigade, trained in France, have reportedly deserted. The flagship unit, inspected by French President Emmanuel Macron, was meant to symbolize Ukraine’s military strength amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
Reports indicate that many of the soldiers lacked combat experience, and internal issues within the brigade have led to the dismissal of senior commanders. Ukrainian military officials have acknowledged personnel problems but downplayed the scale of the desertions.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed regret over his country’s decision to relinquish its nuclear weapons in an interview, stating that Ukraine's lack of nuclear deterrence has left it vulnerable. Zelensky criticized the U.S., the U.K., and other security guarantors for failing to uphold their promises under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, which assured Ukraine’s security in exchange for giving up its nuclear arsenal. He used strong language to express his frustration, stating that the guarantors "didn’t give a f**k" about Ukraine's sovereignty or security. Zelensky further reflected on the collapse of the Soviet Union, when Ukraine inherited a significant nuclear stockpile, only to give it up in exchange for security assurances that, according to him, were never honored. He emphasized that if Ukraine had retained its nuclear capabilities, it would have been in a stronger position to deter Russia's aggression.

Donald Trump has sharply criticized President Joe Biden for mishandling tensions between Russia, Ukraine, and NATO, accusing the U.S. leader of sparking the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump argued that Biden's push for Ukraine to join NATO, despite Russia's long standing opposition, was a key trigger for the conflict. He claimed that Washington violated a prior understanding with Russia regarding NATO's expansion limits, setting the stage for what he described as a "disaster" that could have been avoided. Trump further warned that the conflict could escalate and worsen, and expressed regret that preventing the war in 2022 would have been easier than resolving it now. He also reiterated his belief that he could broker a resolution, albeit acknowledging the complexity of the situation.

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. The attack targeted multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Kherson, Mykolayiv, and Zaporizhzhya, causing significant damage to businesses and apartment buildings. Ukrainian air defenses managed to intercept 52 of the 103 drones, preventing casualties, though the strikes intensified fears of further infrastructure destruction. This deadly retaliation comes after a devastating attack in Kazan, Russia, on December 21, where Ukrainian forces targeted the capital of Tatarstan, marking a notable escalation in the conflict.

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.
