Summary:
Experts indicate that Ukrainian resilience remains crucial as the Russia–Ukraine war continues with neither side willing to concede, amid Russia's strategy of attritional warfare. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated on December 25 that talks with Washington show "slow but steady progress," while accusing certain Western European countries of attempting to undermine the diplomatic efforts. Russia currently controls about 20 percent of Ukraine’s territory, including large parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Crimea. Defense analyst Tim Ripley noted that neither side appears to have the capability to achieve a decisive military breakthrough in the conflict.

Scripture: Psalm 33:16-17
"The king is not saved by a mighty army; A warrior is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength."
Commentary:
