TheVoiceOfJoyce As we approach the New Year Russia continues to send in missile barrages. The Kamikaze drones were repelled 100%. Other areas, bordering Russia, near Kharkiv and Donetsk suffered damage to an industrial complex. The UK is sending bomb detectors and kits, the Czechs are sending suspension bridges, aid will continue to stream into Ukraine. Meanwhile, Belarus is deciding whether the missile, that landed on their territory, is a reason to enter the War on Russia’s behalf? The Ukrainians are prepared to defend themselves and have warned against Belarus’ possible aggression. They need more effective weapons to repel missiles and longer range missiles to deter Russian strikes. Peace by February 24?

TheVoiceOfJoyce Day 298, the Ukrainian counteroffensive is working. Even when Russia unleashes 90 missiles, the Ukrainians manage to keep the lights and water on in Kyiv. A dome is being built around the Zaporizhizhia Nuclear Power Plant to protect spent nuclear fuel. There is a permanent UN mission stationed around the Plant. Russian morale is low and it hasn’t stopped them from stealing the Scythian Gold from Ukrainian museums. Since Putin isn’t giving his “normal “ New Years address to the media, he must be contemplating a Peace or an advance, possibly from Belarus. Putin has lost.
