20.12.2025 ⇢ The Day of the Belbek Airfield Attrition
⌨Morning headlines prioritized the systematic degradation of Russian aviation, as the SBU conducted its second drone strike in three days on the Belbek airfield in occupied Crimea, targeting Su-27 fighter jets. This tactical success followed reports of a long-range strike on a Russian warship in the Caspian Sea, signaling a deliberate expansion of the maritime and aerial front. Simultaneously, editors highlighted the human cost of the conflict as the death toll from the Odesa port strike rose to eight, prompting public frustration from President Zelenskyy regarding local air defense leadership.
By afternoon, editorial focus shifted to the diplomatic framework of potential peace. Zelenskyy rejected Russian-imposed conditions for elections and territorial concessions, asserting that a "fair" peace requires maintaining current front lines. This hardened stance coincided with reports of a more transactional US foreign policy and internal warnings of severe energy infrastructure failures, with 13-hour blackouts scheduled for the following day.
