1017 days ago, the Russian attack on Ukraine began. Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said that the Ukrainian army will receive more than 30,000 DeepStrike long-range drones next year. This is what happened in the last 24 hours in Ukraine and its surroundings.
> Russian soldiers are sending women called up from Ukrainian prisons to the front, said Nazar Voloshin, the spokesman of the southern group of the armed forces of Ukraine. He added that none of them have been captured by the Ukrainians yet.
> Ukraine's military will receive more than 30,000 DeepStrike high-altitude drones next year, Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said.

> The Russian diplomat smiled at the same time while listening to the report about Russia's crimes against Ukrainian children. This report was presented to the UN Security Council by Darya Zarivna, the adviser to the chief of staff of the President of Ukraine, who spoke, among other things, about the illegal deportation and destruction of the identity of Ukrainian children.
> More than 300 types of military weapons are banned in Canada and preparations are being made to buy them from their owners and give them to Ukraine, government officials said.
> Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans is pessimistic about Ukraine's situation in the war with Russia. According to him, Russia now has the upper hand and “you can even say that Ukraine is losing the war.” Brekelmans expressed this position during the debate in the Dutch parliament.
> Calin Georgescu, the extremist and pro-Russian candidate in the Romanian presidential election, said that if he gets the highest position in this country, he will end all support for Ukraine. Georgescu, who won in the first round of voting, called Vladimir Putin “patriot and leader”.
A senior official of the Ukrainian government told AFP that Ukraine rejects the call of the United States to lower the age of military mobilization from 25 to 18. According to him, the problem is not the number of soldiers on the front, but the very small military assistance of the United States.
> The Speaker of the European Parliament, Roberta Metzola, appealed to all parliaments of the world to “support Ukraine as long as necessary.” He recalled that a few weeks ago, 1000 days had passed since Russia's unjustified aggression against Ukraine.
