Wetin dey happen for wey concern Russia and Ukraine weer done scatter phynophynah again! E be like say dem don accuse Ukraine say dem do long-range drone attack wey target Putin house for Novgorod Oblast on December 29. This matter no be small thing o, as Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov talk say Ukraine launch 91 long-range drones against the guy house overnight from December 28 to 29, but e say dem down all the drones and no damage occur.
But as e be so, everybody dey wonder how true this claim be because, no as verified evidence dey show! Lavrov put mouth for this talk say Russia go ‘revise’ their negotiating position after dis alleged strike. So, wetin dem go do? We go keep our ears on the ground.
As if that no dey enough, US President Donald Trump and Putin gree talk on December 29, where Putin by himself tell Trump about the alleged drone drama and confirm say dem go “reconsider” which side dem dey for peace agreement. But the US no don release report from that call yet, so na we go wait dey see what happen next.
Now, as Ukraine no carry last for this wahala, President Zelensky don come out to refute say dis strike no happen at all. He don dey warn say Russia fit use this matter wrap their own plan to strike Kyiv and other places in Ukraine. No be small wahala, as Russia don already dey cause problem for government buildings before.
Lavrov don also run mouth say Russia don don fit plan retaliatory strike, but e no gree go details. Na so dem don dey intensify dem long-range strike campaign since e reach Winter 2025-2026, and dem dey specifically target energy infrastructure, making life no easy for common people.
The issues dey heat up more because Russia dey give the impression say the front lines dey close to collapse, and dem don call their military heads together to jive about tactical matters. But o, the way wey Russian commanders dey inflate dem own success reports dey raise eyebrows for some quarters. Some Russian bloggers don dey call out their commanders for lying about how many territory dem don capture.
Omo, as the reports dey come, e don become clear say na tension dey increase for every corner as fighting continue across multiple fronts. For instance, Ukraine don dey gain ground too, making this fight nothing short of a dramatic chess game between two titans.
While wahala dey persist, civilians go still be the main casualty. Russian attacks don kill and injure many people, especially as dem launch aerial assaults in populated areas like Orikhiv. Reports dey fly say at least one civilian don die and another don get wound due to Russian bombings.
Na wetin we dey see as this situation dey unfold be say both sides dey harden their positions, and civilians dey suffer the consequences. Everybody just dey hope for peace but the way this matter dey go e be like say we go need plenty more patience and plenty more gists before we fit find solid ground!
