Ukraine's Ambassador to Austria Vasyl Khymynets called for strong military and financial assistance to Ukraine and the cessation of any business with terrorist Russia after the nighttime Russian air attack on Ukrainian cities.
A number of European politicians, as well as Martin Wijnen, the commander-in-chief of the Dutch army, have called on their governments to prepare for the prospect of repelling Russian aggression.
On December 29, Russia attacked Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Lviv, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, Cherkasy, Myrhorod, Starokostiantyniv, and other Ukrainian cities with missiles and drones.
Over the past day, 53 combat engagements took place in the frontline. Ukrainian aviation struck 19 times at the enemy, including its anti-aircraft missile systems.
For Ukraine, one of the biggest achievements this year was the displacement of the Russian fleet to the eastern part of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
