Drone operators from Ukraine’s 79th Air Assault Brigade destroyed a D-20 howitzer in Hrodivka, southeast of Myrnohrad, on the Pokrovsk front. After hitting the gun twice, they spotted Russian troops trying to flee with remaining ammo in a “Bukhanka” van, both were taken out.


Putin personally picked U.S. real estate developer Steve Witkoff as a key backchannel negotiator with the U.S., WSJ reports. The Kremlin’s outreach reportedly began via Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who passed a message to Witkoff that Putin wanted to meet him directly. Moscow vetted Trump’s circle and saw Witkoff as acceptable. His involvement included close coordination with Putin aide Kirill Dmitriev.


Putin’s aide Ushakov dismissed the US-proposed Ukraine–US–Russia meeting, saying it’s “not under serious discussion.” He also claimed changes pushed by Kyiv and Europe “block a lasting peace.” In reality, Russia continues to reject any compromise and demands Ukrainian capitulation, nothing new.


Sweden has approved a new agreement with the EU to provide an additional EUR 170 million in budget support to Ukraine in 2026 through the EU’s Ukraine Facility. The aid aims to help Ukraine close its budget gap and maintain vital public services during wartime, such as energy, healthcare, education, and pensions.


Putin’s special envoy Kirill Dmitriev reportedly met with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff at a Miami golf club. Quiet setting, shady talks, classic villain meetup vibes.


Russian forces crossed into Ukraine near the village of Hrabovske in Sumy region and abducted over 50 civilians. Ukrainian Defense Forces withdrew from several positions in the area due to the assault. Stabilization efforts are now underway, according to a Ukrainian military spokesperson.


A substation in Aksay, Rostov region, erupted in flames following a drone alert and explosions. Power and heating were cut in parts of the city. Soon after, another substation in Kursk caught fire.


During the night of December 20-21, Russia launched 97 attack drones against Ukraine from multiple directions including occupied Crimea. Ukrainian air defenses shot down or suppressed 75 of them across all regions. At least 19 drones struck 8 locations, with debris falling in one more.

in reply to Ulrike Walter-Lipow

Nach meinem Eindruck besteht außerdem das Problem, dass Menschen häufig keinerlei Verständnis für psychologische Erkrankungen haben, weil sie unsichtbar sind. Es fehlt komplett das Verständnis, wieso es Menschen gibt, die bestimmte Dinge einfach nicht tun können, die für viele andere kein Problem darstellen.

Demzufolge dürfte dann auch in der Bevölkerung die Meinung vorherrschen, dass diese Menschen ja sowieso "nur simulieren" würden.

Happens a lot, release notifications still miss niche or algorithm-edge artists. At least AVKRVST rewards late discovery. How many releases slip by because Tidal optimizes alerts for engagement, not completeness?

The worst thing about designing your own toy programming language is that people have a ton of Ideas™ and absolutely zero context
in reply to Nikita Lisitsa

Developing your own engine is very cool and a great experience. But, unfortunately, in the vast majority of cases, apart from experience, it won't bring anything positive. I am currently observing a person who makes quite successful games on his own engine. The problem is that when he releases updates, issues arise in the most unexpected places. From empirical observations, it is impossible to create a full-fledged engine alone. You need assistants and testers. Sorry.

What's wrong with Godot?

@Tomcat I believe you're the winner of the "tons of ideas but zero context" competition running in this thread. You didn't even take a cursory look at the rest of @Nikita Lisitsa 's timeline to figure out why he might have posted this.
