Zelensky met Belgian PM Bart De Wever in Brussels and received a positive signal on Ukraine’s future funding. Both agreed the support is urgent. Meanwhile, Polish PM Donald Tusk said the EU has reached a turning point: there's broad support for using frozen Russian assets for Ukraine, though some countries still push hard for legal guarantees.


💬 EU leaders agreed at a summit in Brussels on Thursday to work on the option of financing #Ukraine in 2026 and 2027 through the use of frozen Russian assets rather than joint EU borrowing, Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk said.

The Russian “Varshavyanka”-class submarine hit by an SBU drone in Novorossiysk is now leaking fuel and lube into the sea according to Serhii Sternenko. Its rear section is partially flooded, with two compartments reportedly submerged after the hull was breached. This contradicts earlier Russian claims that the sub was “undamaged.”


Zelensky warns that without new funding by spring, Ukraine will be forced to drastically cut drone production and will lose long-range strike capability. He also revealed that some air defense systems are already out of missiles.


Brutally true from #Ukraine soldier Vitalii «Donetsk» Ovcharenko:

This is the passport of Ukrainian citizen Ivan Shulz from Kreminna. He was drafted into the Russian army and sent to storm the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

As life shows, if you do not go to serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, you will eventually be drafted into the Russian army and sent to storm the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Zelensky joined the EU summit in Brussels and adressed European leaders directly before they begin talks on Ukraine funding for 2026–27. Two main options are on the table: a reparations loan backed by frozen Russian assets or joint EU debt, both face pushback and support within the bloc.


Ukrainian recon drones discovered two Russian S-400 launchers moving 50 km inside the Russian Belgorod region and launched drones. Both launchers were struck and destroyed.


Zelensky has also arrived in Brussels to take part in the European Council summit, where key decisions on Ukraine’s support, including the use of frozen Russian assets, are on the agenda.


Satellite pictures of the port of Novorossiysk, Russia, with better resolution have been obtained by war reporter "Sternenko". He describes the damage as significant. His statement:

"The Russian submarine in the port of Novorossiysk, hit by a drone from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), started leaking. Literally. Fuel and lubricants are leaking from the "Varshavyanka"-class submarine into the sea. In addition, the rear part of the boat is partially flooded."

in reply to Tendar

"Because, as I reported earlier, the armored hull was pierced and 2 compartments were flooded. The picture shows a schematic of the location of objects and calculations of the critical pressure limits, which resulted from the explosion of the SubSeaBaby combat unit."

"Earlier, the Russians claimed that the submarine was completely intact and had not suffered any damage."



Ukrainian forces struck multiple Russian targets overnight, hitting a 55Zh6 "Nebo-U" radar in occupied Crimea, a fuel depot near Prymorsk (Zaporizhzhia), a drone storage site in Makiivka, and a troop concentration of Russia’s 114th Motorized Brigade in Donetsk.

Confirmed: two S-400 launchers destroyed on Dec 14 in Belgorod region.

The EU has sanctioned 41 more vessels from Russia’s shadow fleet, targeting tankers helping Moscow bypass the oil price cap or transporting stolen Ukrainian goods.

These ships now face port bans and service restrictions, bringing the total to nearly 600 vessels. The move aims to tighten pressure on Russia’s energy revenues and logistics network.



Ukrainian forces conducted an operation against the Belbek air base in Russian-occupied Crimea using long-range drones and caused absolute havoc. The following targets were hit:

- Two long-range radar detection systems "Nebo-SVU"

- One radar station 92N6, which is part of the S-400 "Triumph" air defense system

- One "Pantsir" air defense system

- One fully armed MiG-31 aircraft

Un piccolo tag è attaccato al collo della bottiglia, con una grafica colorata e la scritta "Grappa" in evidenza. Il tag presenta anche un simbolo che ricorda la bandiera italiana.

La cultura del “tanto chi vuoi che mi attacchi?” gira ancora, testarda. Non è uno slogan, è proprio un modo di pensare.

Una specie di alibi mentale che permette di rimandare, di non guardare troppo da vicino certi rischi. Succede spesso nelle aziende piccole, quelle dove tutti fanno un po’ di tutto e la #sicurezza resta una cosa vaga, sullo sfondo.
