Zelensky condemned new Russian strikes across Ukraine, noting civilian targets were hit in Kyiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Kherson. A hospital in Kyiv, a food factory in Dnipro, and energy infrastructure in Kharkiv were all damaged. โ€œRussia isnโ€™t serious about diplomacy,โ€ he said. โ€œTheir goal remains to cause as much harm as possible. Our response, defending life, will only grow stronger.โ€


Ukraineโ€™s Special Operations Forces have released footage showing how they locate Russian troops in Kupyansk. The video shows close-quarters urban tactics and precision coordination in identifying Russian positions.

Mykhailo Fedorovโ€™s anticipated appointment as Ukraineโ€™s Minister of Defense signals the conclusion of one of the countryโ€™s longest-running personnel sagas. A central figure in military tech innovation throughout the war, Fedorov has consistently pushed for a radical transformation of Ukraineโ€™s defense structure, including drone warfare.

According to sources, Fedorov previously advocated replacing General Syrskyi and his team to inject new operational culture into the Armed Forces.



Zelensky met with Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha to review Ukraineโ€™s diplomatic achievements in 2025 and set priorities for 2026. He emphasized that every agreement and partnership must deliver full results. They also discussed upcoming rotations in the diplomatic corps and the pending appointment of a new First Deputy Foreign Minister.

President Zelensky confirmed ongoing talks with Mykhailo Fedorov on reforming Ukraineโ€™s Defense Ministry, focusing on technology that saves soldiers' lives. With Russia relying on mass assaults, Ukraine must respond with smarter weapons, faster innovation, and new tactics. Fedorov will present reform proposals within a week.

Zelensky highlighted the impact of tech on the battlefield, noting 35,000 confirmed Russian losses in December, up from 30,000 in November.

I am almost to the last episode of the current season of Foundation. Itโ€™s really good - I read the books 40 years ago so Iโ€™m a bit fuzzy but the show seems to be at least as good. I am expecting to see Hari Seldon action figures soon, with prime radiant and Vault accessories.
in reply to Jerry ๐Ÿฆ™๐Ÿ’๐Ÿฆ™

It's a weird case where both the book and the series are good, but the series would be better received if it wasn't attached to the book ๐Ÿค”

Part of the issue is that a tv serial needs main characters whose actions matter, while the books (Versions of Hari notwithstanding) tried to stick with the psychohistory concept of individuals not having a significant impact on the larger events.

Show them or their parents the attached video. It shows how much more distance you need to stop from 20 mph versus 10 mph.

The EU is preparing a โ‚ฌ90 billion loan package for Ukraine, with the first tranche expected by Q2 2026. The legal framework is being finalized after the European Councilโ€™s December approval. The package aims to support Ukraine through 2027, with regulations and financing terms set for adoption this January.



According to Ukrainian sources, Dmytro Kuleba may be appointed head of the Foreign Intelligence Service or take on a new role as a presidential advisor or representative. His future position is reportedly under active consideration.


Hungarian PM Viktor Orbรกn, once a vocal supporter of Maduro and keen to strengthen ties with Venezuela, now claims he never really sympathized with him. He even praised the U.S. operation, noting that with Venezuela, the U.S. could control 40-50% of global oil reserves, โ€œgood news for Hungary,โ€ he said.

Orbรกn refused to draw parallels between Russiaโ€™s war in Ukraine and U.S. actions in Venezuela, calling the operation a sign of a โ€œnew worldโ€ and the โ€œnew languageโ€ global powers will speak.

Sanae Takaichiโ€™s political style is often described in terms of strength, clarity, and confrontation. In this episode, we examine her public image through an unexpected lens: the aesthetics of heavy metal.

Drawing from the attached recording, the focus is on sonic metaphorsโ€”distortion, repetition, volume, and insistence. Like metal music, this political style relies on simplified motifs delivered with maximum intensity. Nuance is minimized in favor of force, symbolism..

What if Sanae Takaichi isnโ€™t best understood through policyโ€”but through heavy metal?

This episode breaks down her political style as loud, aggressive, and uncompromising, drawing parallels between metal music and the kind of politics that thrives on confrontation and clarity over nuance.

We used one for one of our previos dogs. (Golden retriever about 75 lbs). It helped him a lot. Only took a short walk to get him (and us) acclimated to using it. But it did take a few walks to get it adjusted properly. If they need the assistance it works great and improves their quality of life.

Might have it laying around somewhere if you want the brand name. (We are serial adopters of senior golden retrievers. So we tend to keep those kind of things around)
