Russian rage over strike that resulted in the deaths of numerous troops in Ukraine grows
Christmas has traditionally been observed by the majority of Orthodox Christians in Ukraine and Russia on January 7. The largest Orthodox Church in Ukraine, however, permitted a Dec. 25 celebration this year. However, a large number of people commemorated the occasion on Saturday by packing churches and cathedrals.
According to the Kremlin, Moscow will continue its so-called “special military operation” in Ukraine, which Kyiv and its Western allies describe as an aggressive attempt to seize territory.
According to Sergei Kiriyenko, Putin’s first deputy chief of staff, “the tasks established by the president (Putin) for the special military operation will still be fulfilled.”
And there will undoubtedly be a win.
The war, now in its eleventh month, has killed thousands of people, uprooted millions of people, and reduced Ukrainian cities to ruins. There is currently no end in sight for the conflict. The war has been ongoing for a significant period and has caused widespread destruction and devastation.
Blasts were recorded by Ukrainian authorities in areas that are part of the larger Donbas region. The Donbas region is the frontline of the conflict where combat has been ongoing for months. The blasts were recorded in areas within the Donbas region.
According to Pavlo Kyrylenko, the governor of the Ukrainian region of Donetsk, nine missile strikes occurred in the area overnight, including seven in the damaged city of Kramatorsk. There were no fatalities, according to early reports.

A local official reported hearing explosions in the city of Zaporizhzhia. No information was immediately provided on injuries or property damage. Zaporizhzhia serves as the region’s administrative hub.
Moreover Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the president of Ukraine, claimed on Wednesday that Russia is preparing a significant new onslaught. Putin’s goal of annexing Ukrainian territory, according to the Pentagon, has not changed, despite the fact that his military is still taking hits.
