Trump says ‘Putin is afraid of the US but not Europe’ in latest attack on allies - US president said a future operation to capture Putin would ‘not be necessary’

Hello, this is Asami Terajima reporting from Kyiv on day 1,414 of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Today's top story: Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to have marked Orthodox Christmas at a church in a military base,

President Vladimir Putin's launch of an Oreshnik hypersonic missile appears aimed at intimidating Ukraine and sending a signal of Russian military might to Europe and the United States at a crucial juncture in talks to end the war.

Vladimir Putin’s message for Russia’s Prosecutor’s Office Workers Day praises prosecutors as a pillar of state power, stressing loyalty to the law, protection of citizens’ rights, and defense of national sovereignty.

Vladimir Putin has been lying to Donald Trump and the world about the war in Ukraine, and his false claims have proven costly for both Ukraine and Russia.

The agent had been watching for weeks, carefully observing the movements of Russian patrols, surveillance blind spots and the irregular arrival of the cargo trains.

Russia says it used its new Oreshnik hypersonic missile and other weapons in a massive strike on Ukraine​. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy says a drone hit the Qatar embassy.

Russia's foreign minister said Ukraine had attacked the Russian president's state residence with drones, while Kyiv called the accusation a lie.

President Donald Trump said that U.S. national security officials have determined that Ukraine did not target a residence belonging to Russian President Vladimir Putin in a drone attack last week.

Kyiv denies an attack, but Moscow is already using it as an excuse against peace talks.
