Can. The Ukrainian Air Force tonight is falling just short of claiming official responsibility for yet another drone strike deep inside Russian territory. But they're certainly not denying it either. A spokesperson for the Air Force Air Force saying, quote, This is just a consequence of what Russia is doing, which is the relentless bombardment of civilian infrastructure targets that cause rolling blackouts affecting millions of people across this country in the dead of winter. Now, as far as this latest drone strike in the western port city of Engels, which is along the Volga River around 500 miles southeast of Moscow, we know that at least three Russian servicemen were killed on Monday. And we also know this is the second attempted drone attack on this area, which includes a strategic bomber airbase Now, Russian state media is claiming that this drone was shot down. We cannot independently verify that claim. Meanwhile, in Moscow, President Putin is well, he's certainly getting a lot of skepticism, not just here in Ukraine, but around the world for his offer that is believed here in Ukraine to be disingenuous, to negotiate to an end to this war, talk about acceptable solutions in his words. Adviser to President Zelensky says that Moscow doesn't really want to negotiate. They just want to avoid responsibility for their continuing attacks on civilians, that Ukraine says warrants them being kicked out of the United Nations and the United Nations Security Council, where they're a permanent member with veto power, one of five. There's actually no mechanism written into the UN Charter to remove them. So that is more of a political statement than an actual possibility at this stage, although the Ukrainians would certainly like to see some consequences at the U.N. for Russia, because essentially they have the power to veto any resolutions against them. Meanwhile, here in Kiev, President Alinsky calling for patience and faith from the Ukrainian people and warning that there could be some difficult and dark days ahead. When he gave his Christmas address, he warned of the potential of Russian retaliation. Of course, he didn't mention the drone strike, but in general, the Ukrainians are worried that there could be some sort of major Russian attack before the end of the year after a brief pause over Christmas. And Dmitri Medvedev the former president of Ukraine, he is saying that Russia will engage in this war until, quote, the disgusting, almost fascist regime in Kiev is both removed and demilitarize eyes, which certainly is very different language from President Putin saying he's willing to negotiate power.
