Putin’s Brutal Christmas Assault on Ukraine: Over 70 Missiles, 100 Drones Rain Down on Kyiv, Kharkiv
Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a massive aerial assault on Ukraine this Christmas, unleashing over 70 missiles and 100 drones on cities across the country.
Kyiv and Kharkiv faced the brunt of the attack, with Kharkiv suffering significant damage from multiple ballistic missile strikes.
The strikes targeted energy infrastructure, causing emergency blackouts and widespread destruction.
Ukrainian air defenses managed to intercept over 50 missiles, but the scale of the attack left significant devastation.
US President Donald Trump has described Russian President Vladimir Putin as “a professional” who has effectively handled Western sanctions amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict. The remarks followed a one-hour phone call between the two leaders where Trump pressed Putin on ending the war. While acknowledging Moscow’s resilience, Trump hinted that tougher sanctions may be on the way if the conflict continues.
The Kremlin reaffirmed its stance, insisting it would not back down from core goals. Meanwhile, a bipartisan bill in the US Senate proposes a staggering 500% tariff on imports from nations buying Russian energy, escalating the economic pressure. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the bill’s backer, Senator Lindsey Graham, as a “Russophobe,” while reiterating Russia’s view that sanctions are illegal and counterproductive. Despite mounting restrictions since 2014, Russia claims its economy has adjusted and domestic industries have strengthened. The geopolitical standoff shows no signs of cooling.

President Donald Trump slammed Vladimir Putin following one of the deadliest Russian attacks on Ukraine in weeks. In a fiery statement, Trump accused Putin of wanting to "keep killing" after missiles and drones rained down on Kyiv, damaging homes across the city. After a tense, unproductive call with Putin, Trump hinted at fresh sanctions against Russia, warning that “he understands what’s coming.” The massive strikes on 13 sites sparked global outrage as diplomacy between the U.S. and Russia faltered again.

In a powerful display of Russian resolve, President Vladimir Putin reaffirmed Moscow’s strategic objectives during a one-hour phone call with US President Donald Trump. Despite Trump expressing disappointment over the lack of progress on a peace deal, the Kremlin stood its ground, making clear that Russia’s military and political goals in Ukraine remain unchanged. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that Moscow seeks peace—but only on its own terms.
He added that Russia is paying close attention to Trump’s statements but is prioritizing long-term national interests. The call also covered cooperation in energy and space sectors, as well as Middle East stability. Putin reiterated that Russia would not compromise on neutralizing the threats that triggered the special military operation. The Kremlin described the conversation as “concrete and businesslike,” signaling that Moscow will continue to engage diplomatically, but without sacrificing its core objectives. Russia remains open to talks—but not surrender.

Trump has stunned observers by privately telling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that he wants to help Ukraine, despite recently pushing for the U.S. to freeze critical weapons deliveries. The contradictory moves have fueled speculation that Trump is leveraging military aid to gain influence over both Kyiv and Moscow ahead of the U.S. election. While Trump publicly blames Zelensky for prolonging the war, sources say he has quietly assured the Ukrainian leader of potential support if certain “conditions” are met.

Deadly Ukrainian strikes have rocked Russia’s Borisoglebsk airfield, where fighter jets were stationed for frontline operations. At least 10 massive blasts tore through the facility, igniting fuel depots and damaging aircraft shelters. Local officials scrambled to contain the fires as Kyiv hailed the attack as retaliation for recent missile barrages. Russian media reported panic among personnel and heavy losses on the ground.

Russian troops have reportedly taken control of Melovoye in Ukraine’s Kharkov region and raised the Russian flag over the liberated settlement. According to military sources, servicemen from the 83rd Motorised Rifle Regiment and 72nd Motorised Rifle Division were involved in the offensive.
The operation, part of a larger strategy to push Ukrainian forces away from Russia’s border, aims to establish a “security zone” to safeguard civilians in nearby Russian regions. The Sever Group of Forces, supported by assault units, has gradually advanced through fortified positions, capturing both equipment and Ukrainian personnel. The symbolic act of hoisting the flag signals growing Russian control in strategic settlements near the front. This development underscores the intensifying nature of ground operations along the Kharkov front, as Russia presses to fortify its territorial gains.

A day after massive Russian strikes, Moscow now accuses Ukraine of sabotaging its own forces. Russian expert Andrey Marochko claims Kyiv lost nearly 4,000 troops in Lugansk alone within a week, including foreign fighters. Ukraine’s counteroffensives reportedly failed to stop Russian advances in Kharkov, Donetsk, and Lugansk. Russia maintains the initiative, launching precision strikes and accusing Ukraine of wasting troops and equipment. As Ukraine struggles to hold its defensive lines, Russia insists its objectives under the "special military operation" are steadily being fulfilled.

Russia has launched its largest aerial attack on Ukraine since the war began, according to Ukrainian officials. Overnight, a staggering 537 aerial weapons — including 477 drones and decoys, and 60 missiles — were fired at targets across Ukraine.
Ukraine's air force reported that 249 were shot down and 226 were likely disrupted by electronic jamming. Yuriy Ihnat, spokesperson for Ukraine’s air force, called the strike “the most massive air attack” yet. Areas far from the frontlines, including western Ukraine, were hit. Poland scrambled jets to protect its airspace. Casualties included one dead in Kherson and six injured in Cherkasy, including a child. This assault follows a wave of similar attacks earlier this month, which had already been labelled the most powerful at that point in the war. Damage was reported in Kharkiv, where multiple residential buildings and houses were struck. The escalation signals a grim turn in the nearly three-year conflict.
