Summary

Russia launched a major attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure on Christmas Day, using 184 missiles and drones, resulting in power cuts across the country.

Ukrainian President Zelensky condemned the attack, calling it “inhumane” and a “conscious choice” by Russia.

Despite the damage and casualties, Ukrainians remain resilient, celebrating Christmas amidst the crisis.

    I believe he made a statement about converting to Orthodox Christianity. I personally think this was a political move.

    To be honest, I don’t think he believes in the religious polemics of Judaism or Ukrainian Orthodox Christianity.

    I am talking about the detailed religious polemics. Theological axioms. I am an atheist, but I support the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, smaller (pro-Ukrainian) Christian denominations and Crimean Tartar muslim organizations. I would even go as far as saying the government should support them with tax money.

      I think they said that to try to suggest that Zelensky has dual loyalties. Not something Jews are un-used to hearing.

      The fun thing in my case is that I’m a U.S. citizen and, because my dad was British and I fit certain requirements, I just got my British citizenship. So I guess I have triple loyalties?

        Yeah, the multiple loyalties thing is complete BS.

        If that was the case Zelensky would have evacuated to Lviv as per American recommendations. He is clearly not a person to give up.

        And I didn’t even vote for him in 2019 (wasn’t a big fan of his opponent, but there were other issues at play).
