基輔在俄羅斯的火雨中撤離，而西方人卻繼續討論“和平”
Kyiv Evacuated Amid a Rain of Russian Fire While Westerners Keep Talking About ‘Peace’

Novopavlivka – Russia’s response to months of diplomatic efforts by Western governments to resolve the war Moscow unleashed against Ukraine came just hours after the final handshakes at the Paris meeting. A carpet bombing across Ukraine, of an intensity and barbarity unmatched in recent comparisons for its ferocity against civilians, included the launch of another Oreshnik ballistic missile (the first was launched on November 21, 2024, against Dnipro).
Officially, the Russian Ministry of Defense declared that «it was a response to the Ukrainian attack (which never occurred, ed.) on Putin’s residence.» In essence, it was the Kremlin’s response to those who, for months, deluded themselves – at the expense of the Ukrainians – that it was possible to get the Russian Federation to sit at the same table as the democracies.
Nineteen buildings in Kyiv (including the one housing the Qatari embassy) were damaged by an inhuman firestorm that left 25 people injured and 4 dead. Kindergartens, tram depots, supermarkets, gas stations, and cars were mercilessly devastated by Russian fire, prompting the capital’s mayor, Vitaly Klitschko, to issue a statement for the first time since the war began, «urging the population to temporarily leave the city due to bombings that have left half of Kyiv’s residential buildings, nearly 6,000, without heating». Pechersk and the left bank of the Dnipro River in the capital were left without water. In Darnytsia, Russian strikes also killed a doctor in an ambulance. Between Boryspil and Brovary, 370,000 families are without power. With disruptions caused by the bad weather, the number of households disconnected from the electricity system in the Kyiv region reaches half a million.
In Lviv, hit by the Oreshnik, gas supplies were cut off to 376 users due to a Russian missile attack on the village of Rudno. Due to Russian bombing, over a million people were left without heating or water in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast’ alone, and the head of its regional council, Mykola Lukashuk, admitted that there are no plans for power restoration. «If you have water at home right now, stock up on it. Especially in the Pavlohrad and Synelnykove districts, because the DZD utility has been left without electricity» – Lukashuk wrote, slightly anticipating the introduction of further power cuts by DTek as well.
Repair work in those two cities is hampered by constant alarms and threats of attack: just watch the videos Alla Perdei and I recorded for this newspaper’s YouTube channel to understand the conditions in which both Synelnykove and Pavlohrad are currently located.
Kryvyi Rih suffered the worst combined attack since the war began. Rescue workers, electrical engineers, heating technicians, and firefighters worked through the night in a snowstorm to restore public services after Russian aircraft swept through the city on Thursday evening, killing around thirty people. Nearly 30,000 households have been disconnected from power lines, and water is available only in the southern neighborhoods, thanks to generators. Over 30 thermal power plants have been deactivated, reactivated, and then disconnected again due to power surges that are causing hydraulic shocks from sudden overpressures. Hospitals are running on generators, and kindergartens and schools are operating exclusively online.
In Kherson, around midnight yesterday, Russian occupiers bombed the village of Tekstilne from the opposite bank of the Dnipro, killing two children and their mother.
In total, Russia’s response to the alleged and unworkable Western ‘peace plan’ consisted of launching 242 drones and 36 other missiles of various types, including the feared Oreshnik, a medium-range ballistic missile capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads and traveling at speeds exceeding Mach-10, launched from the Kapustin Yar test range in Russia’s Astrakhan region. As Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha emphasized when announcing the urgent convocation of the United Nations Security Council, the Russians intentionally launched it a handful of kilometers from the Euro-Atlantic alliance to send a signal.
However, Washington’s response is equally clear.
Donald Trump, who before being re-elected president of the United States of America had publicly proclaimed on at least 83 occasions that he could end the conflict within 24 hours, declared yesterday on Fox News that he «will not set deadlines for resolving the conflict in Ukraine». In that same interview, he stated his support for the bipartisan bill aimed at tightening sanctions on Russia, although he also specified that he hoped they wouldn’t have to be implemented because «although the Russian economy is in dire straits, the Russian Federation is a much larger and more powerful country than Ukraine». It’s important to remember that, in fact, his administration has long since begun easing the sanctions on Moscow.
If the West doesn’t stop pandering to that rhetoric and seriously resume military support for Ukraine, things will only get worse. From the front I’m writing from, I haven’t even been able to get close to Dobropillia. Kyiv wasn’t evacuated even when it was besieged in 2022. While civilians flee from devastated, dark, and freezing Ukrainian cities, the military waits for supplies that never arrive because Washington is slowing everything passing through the PURL, and Europe has eased its direct support for Ukraine.
Trump has just signed a memorandum for the US withdrawal from 66 organizations and treaties «that no longer serve America’s interests» and threatens to terminate those signed with NATO as well. Thinking that signing new ones is the solution is political and military suicide.

基輔在俄羅斯的火雨中撤離，而西方人卻繼續討論“和平”

烏克蘭前線報道
諾沃帕夫利夫卡 —— 俄羅斯對西方政府數月來的外交努力試圖解決莫斯科對烏克蘭發動的戰爭的回應，在巴黎會議結束後僅幾個小時就作出：對烏克蘭全境的地毯式轟炸，轟炸的強度和殘酷程度遠遠超過最近對平民攻擊的猛烈程度，還發射了另一枚奧雷什尼克彈道導彈（第一枚於2024年11月21日針對第聶伯河發射）。
俄羅斯國防部官方宣稱，“這是對烏克蘭攻擊普京住所的回應”（此攻擊實際上並未發生，編輯注）。本質上，這是克裏姆林宮對那些在過去幾個月裏自欺欺人的人的回應——這些人以烏克蘭人生命為代價幻想能讓俄羅斯聯邦與民主國家坐在同一談判桌上。

基輔的十九座建築在一場非人道的火災風暴中受到破壞，包括卡塔爾大使館所在的大樓，造成25人受傷，4人死亡。幼兒園、電車車庫、超市、加油站和汽車都遭到俄羅斯炮火的無情摧毀，促使市長維塔利·克利欽科在戰爭開始以來首次發表聲明，“呼籲市民因轟炸暫時離開城市，因為這場轟炸使基輔近一半的住宅樓（近6000棟）失去供暖。”基輔的佩切爾斯克和第聶伯河左岸地區供水中斷。在達爾尼察，俄羅斯的轟炸還造成一名正在救護車內的醫生喪生。在波羅斯皮爾和布羅瓦裏之間，370,000個家庭停電。由於惡劣天氣造成的幹擾，基輔地區斷電的家庭數量已達到50萬。

在利沃夫魯德諾村，由於遭到奧雷什尼克導彈襲擊，376戶用戶的燃氣供應被切斷。僅在第聶伯羅彼得羅夫斯克州，由於俄羅斯的轟炸，就有超過一百萬人失去供暖或供水，其地區委員會主任米科拉·盧卡舒克承認沒有恢複供電的計劃。他寫道：“如果你家裏現在還有水，請趕緊儲備，尤其是在帕夫洛赫拉德和西內爾尼科夫地區，因為DZD公用事業公司已經停電。”盧卡舒克大致預警了DTek接下來將進一步實施停電。

這兩個城市的維修工作受到持續警報和襲擊威脅的阻礙：隻需觀看阿拉·佩爾代和我為本報的YouTube頻道錄製的視頻，就能理解西內爾尼科夫和帕夫洛赫拉德目前的狀況。
克裏維伊·裏赫遭遇了自戰爭開始以來最嚴重的綜合性攻擊。救援人員、電氣工程師、供暖技師和消防員在暴風雪中通宵工作，以恢複公共服務，因為周四晚上俄羅斯飛機襲擊了該市，導致約三十人遇難。近30,000個家庭供電中斷，隻有南部社區依靠發電機還在供水。由於電壓波動引起的水壓衝擊，超過30座熱電廠被停用、重新啟用，然後再次被斷電。醫院依靠發電機供電，幼兒園和學校僅在線上授課。

在赫爾鬆，昨天午夜左右，俄羅斯侵略者從第聶伯河對岸轟炸了特克斯蒂爾內村，造成兩名兒童及其母親遇難。

總之，俄羅斯對所謂的且毫無可行性的西方“和平計劃”的回應是發射242架無人機和36枚不同類型的導彈，包括被人們畏懼的奧雷什尼克中程彈道導彈，這種導彈能夠攜帶多枚核彈頭並以超過超過10馬赫的速度飛行，從俄羅斯阿斯特拉罕地區的卡普斯丁雅爾試驗場發射。正如烏克蘭外交部長安德裏·西比哈在宣布緊急召集聯合國安全理事會時所強調的，俄羅斯故意在距離歐洲大西洋聯盟幾公裏的地方發射，是在傳遞一個信號。

然而，華盛頓的回應同樣明確。
唐納德·川普在重新當選美國總統之前，曾在至少83個場合公開宣稱他可以在24小時內結束衝突，但他昨天在福克斯新聞上表示，他“不會為解決烏克蘭衝突設定最後期限”。在同一采訪中，他表示支持旨在加強對俄羅斯製裁的兩黨法案，盡管他還特別強調希望這些製裁不必實施，因為“雖然俄羅斯經濟岌岌可危，俄羅斯聯邦是一個比烏克蘭大得多、強大得多的國家”。值得記住的是，實際上，他的政府早已開始放寬對莫斯科的製裁。
如果西方不停止迎合這種言辭並認真恢複對烏克蘭的軍事支持，局勢隻會變得更糟。從我所在的前線，我甚至無法接近多布羅皮利亞。即使在2022年被圍困時，基輔也沒有撤離。當平民逃離被摧毀、漆黑而嚴寒的烏克蘭城市時，軍隊則在等待那些永遠不會抵達的物資——因為華盛頓正在減緩所有通過PURL的物資流動，歐洲也已經放緩了對烏克蘭的直接支持。
軍隊在等待那些永遠不會到達的物資，因為華盛頓正在減緩所有經過PURL的物資流通，而歐洲已經放緩了對烏克蘭的直接支持。”
特朗普剛剛簽署了一份備忘錄，宣布美國將退出66個“已經不再符合美國利益”的組織和條約，並威脅要終止與北約簽署的條約。認為簽署新的條約能夠解決問題無異於政治和軍事自殺。
