Ukraine 'still waiting for answer' from Orban on why Ukraine should not join EU

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban did not give President Volodymyr Zelensky an answer when asked why Budapest wants to block Ukraine's entry into the EU, Zelensky said at the Nordic-Ukraine Summit in Oslo on Dec. 13.

"I asked him to tell me one reason, not three, five, 10, tell me one reason" as to why talks should not begin, Zelensky said at the press conference in Oslo. "I'm still waiting for (an) answer."

Allies in discord: Roots of recent quarrel between Poland and Ukraine

When Russia launched a full-scale invasion, Poland took the initiative to provide weapons to Ukraine and called on others to do the same.

Poland's people and government hosted millions of Ukrainian refugees. At times, the relationship looked nigh-unbreakable, but a scandal over grain amplified by aggressive rhetoric exposed the rift between both countries.

A dozen experts and stakeholders from Poland and Ukraine interviewed by the Kyiv Independent believe Poland will continue to support Ukraine against Russia.

Rename the street of the Russian embassy in your country to 'Ukraine Street'

Living away from Ukraine, it is sometimes hard to know how to support the people under attack. However, there is one way you can support Ukraine in spirit:

You can rename Russian embassies’ and consulates’ addresses to Ukraine streets. This would be a simple but significant act of symbolic support for the courageous Ukrainian people who defend the values of freedom and democracy from one of the strongest military powers in the world.

Wagner chief says Ukraine never threatened to attack Russia

The head of the Wagner mercenary group has said Ukraine never threatened to attack Russia, as the #Kremlin claimed when attempting to justify its invasion.

The statement by Yevgeny #Prigozhin dramatically raises the stakes in his battle with Russian military chiefs.

In a video message, Prigozhin said: "We exchanged fire: we hit them, they hit us. This was happening all these long eight years, from 2014 to 2022.

"At some points, the number of strikes, the exchange of fire, was increasing, at others - it was decreasing. By February 24 [2022] there was nothing extraordinary.

"Now the Ministry of Defence is trying to deceive the public; trying to deceive the president and is telling the story that there was insane aggression from Ukraine and they [Ukraine] were going to attack us, together with the entire #NATO bloc.

"The special operation that began on February 24 was launched for completely different reasons."

OBTF Cascade: The military unit where the Russian elite get to ‘play war’ in Ukraine

Welcome to #OBTF Cascade, the Russian military unit that allows career politicians and their military-aged sons to play war in Ukraine – at a safe and comfortable distance from the blood being spilled on the frontline

By creating the elite Cascade unit, which is believed to consist of around a hundred members, the Kremlin could show that no one – not even the country’s politicians – were too important to be exempt from military duty.

Most Front-Line Ukrainian Soldiers Killed Within ‘4 Hours’

The average lifespan on the frontline of the fierce fighting in the city of Bakhmut is "four hours," according to an American fighting side by side with the Ukrainian army against Russian forces in the Donbas.

Former U.S. Marine Troy Offenbecker, of Michigan, told ABC News that the situation in the city, which has seen some of the deadliest fighting since Russia's full-scale invasion, is "chaotic" and has been dubbed "the meat grinder."

"It's been pretty bad on the ground," he told ABC News. "A lot of casualties. The life expectancy is around four hours on the frontline."

Finnish Law Enforcement: Arms Sent to Ukraine Ending Up in Hands of Criminals

There's been a lack of oversight for the tens of billions in weapons being sent to #Ukraine

I hate to say it but

We told you so

Just wait for the javelin rocket launched at a target in Stockholm or Helsinki, for the right wing neo Nazi to blame it on Afghan and Syrian refugees. And our lovely Ukraine lovers here blame it on Putin.

Who wants to bet?
