25.12.2024 โ‡ข The Day Christmas Missiles Met Plane Flames
โŒจRussia launched extensive missile strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure on Christmas Day, causing widespread blackouts - a timing Zelenskyy characterized as deliberately symbolic. The morning brought news of a catastrophic plane crash in Kazakhstan, with death toll reports evolving throughout the day before settling at 38 dead and 29 survivors.

Biden's recent death row commutations continued generating reaction, with Trump pledging to "vigorously pursue" capital punishment if elected. The Pope's Christmas message calling for global peace gained prominence as violence persisted in multiple regions.

By evening, domestic concerns took focus: NYC announced potential 25% surge pricing for congestion tolls, while a taxi incident outside Macy's injured six people including a child. Trump closed the day with provocative messages about Canada's governance, suggesting NHL legend Wayne Gretzky as potential "governor" - continuing his pattern of territorial statements following Panama Canal claims.
