TheVoiceOfJoyce Day 303, Zelensky returns safely home to Kyiv and resumes work. Let’s hope Ukrainian’s have a Merry Christmas and receive the presents requested under their trees! With all his bluster, Putin is unable to arm his troops , without using cryptocurrencies on the Black Market and tapping into No Korean munitions and Iranian drones. Why does he still want Ukraine? Russian troops will be peeled off of the Zaporizhizhia Nuclear Power Plant. They’re ordered to stay. We’re not hearing of fierce fighting, however IT and AI are pinpointing every Russian installation, every weapon used, every piece of infrastructure destroyed, land mines planted. This is a new age of warfare, using intelligent data collection. The data can be accessed and analyzed remotely for strategic advantage. Kudos to Zelensky and his high tech strategist. Let’s hope the New Year will bring us Peace on Earth! Good luck Ukrainians, you’re fighting for all of us.

TheVoiceOfJoyce What happened in America. Zelensky came away with a $45 Billion aid package and hopes he’ll be able to build his defenses quickly. We really don’t know if Putin will rest or send more drones and men into the Ukraine, stressing battle weary men on both sides. One thing is clear, for our Allie’s sake and for global food security and the sovereignty of Nations, Ukraine use win this War against both Putin and Iran and, if necessary, against Belarus.

TheVoiceOfJoyce The COP 15 inks a deal to protect 30% of Earth’s land and sea mass. The US, Vatican sat on the sidelines and Brazil, and some African Nations were opposed because their is no monetary funding to protect their lands.

This deal, which has not been followed for a decade, comes when scientists are warning humans are starting to cause the 6 th mass extinction.

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.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Straight from The Guardian, Ukrainian counteroffensive is working in Melitopol, where the bridge to the Crimea and other ports limits Russian troop supplies chains, effectively cutting them off. This tactic was deployed to save Kyiv from further hardships. Zelensky is asking for the Patriot Defense Systems or the Iron Dome, they’re being bombarded with 1000’s of missiles destroying key infrastructure. Russia is still insisting they own the territories they annexed, though they occupy less then 50%. Fighting is fierce in Donetsk.
