Russian outlet Kommersant claims the US discussed using the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant for crypto mining and joint control without Ukraine, allegedly with Putinโs knowledge.
If true, it fits Trumpโs playbook perfectly: profit over principles, deals over sovereignty, money made on anyoneโs back. Morals do not apply.
US Senators have condemned Russiaโs Christmas strikes on Ukrainian cities, calling Putin a ruthless killer with no interest in peace. They noted that while Ukraine agreed to a Christmas ceasefire, the Kremlin chose to bomb civilians in cities including Kherson, Chernihiv and Kharkiv instead.
But Trump will say great progress is made ๐
While progress is reported near Kupyansk, the situation on the Huliaipole axis is deteriorating fast. Russian forces reportedly overran a battalion command post, capturing communications and equipment intact. A deeper command and control failure that demands urgent action before tactical breaches turn operational.
The situation there is absolutely critical.
