Ukraine faced massive missile strikes on Christmas Day, targeting energy facilities. President Zelensky condemned the attacks as “inhumane” and a “conscious choice” by Russia. The strikes caused power cuts across the country, with Kyiv residents sheltering in metro stations. Ukrainian officials reported damage to critical infrastructure, leaving half a million people in Kharkiv without electricity or water. Russia claimed the attack was successful. Zelensky vowed Ukraine would not be broken, saying, “Russian evil will not distort Christmas.” Efforts to restore power are underway. Ukrainian Foreign Minister called the strikes “Christmas terror,” as the nation continues to endure relentless aggression.
