Dec 26 (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday that the situation at the front in the Donbas region was "difficult and painful" and required all of the country's "strength and concentration".
"First of all, matters at the front. Bakhmut, Kreminna and other areas in Donbas, which require a maximum of strength and concentration." Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address.
"The situation there is difficult and painful. The occupiers are deploying all resources available to them -- and these are considerable resources - to make some sort of advance."

I hope Putin dies as soon as humanely possible.

The deluge of footage of Russian troops on the back foot, plus constant posts of Russian forces surrendering seems to paint a dangerously misleading picture on Reddit. Based on these posts alone, you’d think the Ukrainians are on the verge of annihilating the Russians.
Yet a year later, both sides are bogged in a brutal war. I’d take Zeleksnsky’s warnings over an overly rosy picture being painted by well-intentioned but terribly selective Reddit posts.

This must be so hard to endure, I can't imagine having to fight just to have your freedom, and I can't believe there is still war in 2023... I guess as long as dickheads live, these things will keep happening...
