#Ukraine

Kyiv and several regions across Ukraine were hit overnight and into the morning of December 23 by a large-scale Russian drone and missile attack that struck residential areas, energy infrastructure, and civilian targets, leaving multiple people dead and wounded, including children.

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukraine’s global image has undergone a profound transformation—from a victim of war to a frontline defender of freedom. This shift is, to a large extent, the result of Ukrainian diplomacy, which has successfully rallied democratic countries into a steadfast alliance.
