"As the Russian ruler, Vladimir Putin, pushes for full control of Ukraine's eastern Donbas region as part of any deal, Zelenskyy said he did not believe Russia would stop there. Pull out from the Donbas, and it will all be over. That is how deception sounds when translated from Russian into Ukrainian, into English, into German, into French, and, in fact, into any language in the world. Zelenskyy said he would not sign a weak peace agreement that would only prolong the war."
"European leaders and allies meeting in Paris on 6 January will make firm commitments towards protecting Ukraine after any peace deal with Russia is brokered, the French president, Emmanuel Macron, said on Wednesday during his New Year Eve's speech. Ukrainian long-range drones struck the Temp oil depot in the Russian city of Rybinsk, sparking a large fire, an official from Kyiv's SBU domestic security service said on Wednesday."
Ukraine reports that a peace agreement is 90% ready with 10% of terms unresolved and strong security guarantees required. Any deal that cedes full control of the eastern Donbas risks further Russian expansion and could threaten Ukrainian sovereignty.

European leaders meeting in Paris on 6 January will make commitments to protect Ukraine after any deal. Ukrainian long-range drones struck an oil depot in Rybinsk, and Russian drone strikes hit apartments and energy facilities in Odesa, injuring six.
