Laughable.
Ukraine is killing lots of putin's terrorists every day. Pushing them to kill them faster may lead to more Ukrainian lives being lost with large scale offensive maneuvers being much more difficult in the battlefield of today with so much drone surveillance and weapons and missiles able to eliminate large groupings of troops.
This article mentions some of what is coming this year to help Ukraine deal with putin's terrorist state:

Confiscating boats in international waters may be OK with the Trump's administration but the EU seems to be happy to follow more legal means to achieve their objectives. This type of approach is one of the reasons the EU is such a respected economic area globally and one of the reasons it will have the financial power to support Ukraine for as long as it takes.
I dunno I like the approach of straight up taking their shadow fleet by force. I also liked the idea of NATO going straight into Ukraine and defending them against Russia day 1.
Ed Wood eat your heart out!
Do remember that Ukraine can, effectively, target any russian vessel it likes around the world, and russia can't effectively retaliate against it.
Ah pity. Yes he deserves the promotion, but the man has been giving Russian generals nightmares for the past four years.
Here's hoping something significant happened and that the FSB is clamping down on social media to suppress the story. May be nothing…
the first thing that struck me when I saw the video is that of the 1 ,ooo,ooo residences - an estimate- in Russia that it can show to the local and international public at large for whatever the one residence that will NOT/NEVER BE SHOWN is any one of Putins residences . You
You all probably know why. But in case you may not know I will give you a clue ie SECURITY
Very interesting. This will grow Budanov's political power domestically. It seems obvious from the media coverage in recent years that he is held in quite high esteem among Western military circles, but I don't know how he viewed domestically within Ukraine.
I guess this was the smartest option to Zelenskiy. Yermak's involvement in that corruption scandal was a serious blow to him, so having him replaced with a spymaster should keep rest of his government ministers in check and ensure no one else steps out of line.
I wonder if Ukr would come up with a video - or even a few iPod them- showing Russian attacks on all types of civilian populations , children’s parks, maimed children with limbs missing, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. Ukr would not need to fictionalise any of them as it would have real live situations to capture
Putin bombed a supermarket in Kharkiv. 30 injured including an infant.
This Russian propagandist video has lots of home truths for Putin.

They could retaliate very easily-by leaving Ukraine.
Russian propaganda channel now criticising the war, or at least the lack of progress Russia has made. Is this a genuine shift among the Russian elite, or it is a momentary lapse of editorial control?
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appointed Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (HUR), as the next chief of the Presidential Office, signaling a potential major shift in Kyiv’s wartime leadership structure, Zelenskyy stated on X on January 2.The President said he has already instructed the new head of the Presidential Office to begin preparing updated strategic foundations for Ukraine’s defense and long-term development—suggesting the transition may already be underway.“At this time, Ukraine needs greater focus on security issues, the development of the Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine, as well as on the diplomatic track of negotiations, and the Office of the President will primarily serve the fulfillment of these tasks of our state,” Zelenskyy said following his meeting with Budanov.national defense and development strategy for approval.
The Russians still havent occupied all of Pokrovsk. They are now shifting away from mass assaults to small infiltrations. The Ukrainians control an area north of the railway.
There is probably something, though understandably they tend more towards emphasising positives that show their fortitude in the face of adversity.

95-year-old Mrs Sofiia Dukhovych from the village of Krylos,Ivano-Frankivsk region,has been knitting socks for Ukrainian Defenders for three years.During this time,she has knitted over 270 pairs
Wonderful lady!
Even Trump knows Putin was never attacked, that it was just a plot to justify what Russia is doing, attacking the innocent
To hit this bridge would indeed be quite something. the article calls it Bridge 777 and I did a quick Google Maps on it; it's a good 4000km from Eastern Ukraine.
The bridge has a span of 602m and the article describes it as a single point of failure. It would be unrecoverably catastrophic to Russia if it was destroyed.
It would look radiantly beautiful lying shattered and semi-submerged in the frigid waters of the Yenesei.
A good summary of the year gone by. Russia increased gains slightly last year but what's important the rate of increase doesn't continue after this year.
Great deduction care you share with links why ??
Contributing to the war effort doesn't mean everybody has to "grab a gun and go to the front lines", as some posters in here have exhorted people to do - it's about doing what you can, when you can, with the talents and capabilities that you possess.
For some, that's knitting socks, for others it's donating funds and keeping the war front and centre in others' minds.
Trump just conducted a 3 hour special military operation and captured the criminal head of Venezuela Madura to be prosecuted in the United States.
If he ends up getting traded to Belarus or Russia I'd nearly suspect there was a secret agreement behind the scenes if he goes to jail for a long time then there wasn't.
Russia's terrorist allies are finding out the hard way. I believe Venezuela were recognising occupied Ukrainian territory as Russian.
I fear it just emboldens Russia. Putin is thinking if Trump can just abduct heads of State, why cant I?
Although he definitely tried that back in early 2022.
if you think Trump ordered this operation because Venezuela recognised parts of Ukraine as Russian then I think that’s naive.
I don't . I'm just pointing out the tramps that government are.
True..
Two down. Two to go.
Russia has condemned the U.S. strike on Venezuela as an act of “armed aggression” urging restraint and warning against further escalation. Moscow says the justification is untenable and accuses Washington of choosing ideology over diplomacy.
Russia can only dream carrying the decapitation strike that America appears to have done over night in Venezuela
Whilst the Russians have some neck to denounce the American extraction of Maduro.
I do also have to think the absolute cheek of the Americans as well. Will the world do anything but wag a finger? Nope. As long as the oil keeps pumping China won’t give too much of a **** what happens to Maduro.
Curious, is that even legal when it comes to the court in New York? Surely this wasn’t legal.. considering the Americans had no jurisdiction to even be in Venezuela.
Off topic I know but just unreal news to see this morning.
I would prefer to say the "US military" did it rather than Trump. imo he's a reckless fool that has inherited (thanks, US electorate!) a sharp knife or a well maintained gun to use to do whatever he wants, for now.
