Zum andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine der Sammler am 25. Dezember 2022:

• Der russische Präsident Wladimir Putin hat erneut der Ukraine und dem Westen die Schuld dafür zugewiesen, dass es nicht zu Verhandlungen über den Krieg gegen das Nachbarland komme. Er erneuerte auch die Aussage, Russland habe zum Schutz seiner Interessen keine andere Chance als den Angriffskrieg gehabt. Von Reuters:

Russia is ready to negotiate with all parties involved in the war in Ukraine but Kyiv and its Western backers have refused to engage in talks, President Vladimir Putin said in an interview aired on Sunday. (…) „We are ready to negotiate with everyone involved about acceptable solutions, but that is up to them – we are not the ones refusing to negotiate, they are,“ Putin told Rossiya 1 state television in the interview. (…)
„I believe that we are acting in the right direction, we are defending our national interests, the interests of our citizens, our people. And we have no other choice but to protect our citizens,“ Putin said.

Der ukrainische Präsidentenberater Mykhailo Podolyak reagierte eindeutig:

• Das britische Intel Update wurde am (heutigen) ersten Weihnachtstag, offensichtlich aufgrund dieses Feiertags, erstmals nicht veröffentlicht.
