Ukraine news latest — Putin lackey dismisses chance of ‘Christmas ceasefire’ as Russia leaves thousands without power

A KREMLIN spokesperson has dismissed the chance of a so-called “Christmas ceasefire” in Ukraine, as Putin continues to bombard the country.

When asked if a ceasefire could occur this Christmas, Putin lackey Dmitry Peskov said: “No, no such offers have been received from anybody. This topic is not on the agenda.”

This comes as residents in the Ukrainian city of Kherson have been left without electricity once again, according to the head of the regional military administration for the region.

Yaroslav Yanushevich stated on Thursday that the region does not have working electricity due to Russian shelling that killed two people this morning.

Posting on the Telegram messaging app, he said: “At the first opportunity, the power industry will begin to restore power grids.”
