The Ukrainian president indeed came to speak before the last session of Congress in its pre-election configuration. It is known that from January, the House of Representatives will change color and will be dominated by Republicans.

10/ Rozdolivka force. Further north, the Ukrainians have resumed their push, notably against Chervonopopivka. If they succeed in taking it as the Russians took Yakovlivka, they could turn Kreminna from the north and Svatove from the south, as we have already seen.
