🚨 Big news from Moscow and Kyiv: this week's events highlight intensifying tensions in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and unexpected diplomatic moves. Here's the lowdown:
Moscow Bombing Shakes the City
On Wednesday, December 24, 2025, a bomb went off in central Moscow when two police officers approached a suspicious man near the spot where a senior general had been killed two days earlier by a car bomb that Russia said was planted by Ukrainian intelligence. The blast killed the two officers and a third person. Russia's State Investigative Committee opened criminal cases on charges related to the murder of law enforcement officers and illegal bomb trafficking. Unofficial Telegram channels report that the man detonated the device himself upon being approached, though this has not been independently confirmed. This incident is the latest in a string of assassinations targeting Russian military figures and pro-war supporters since the conflict began almost four years ago. Ukrainian military intelligence has claimed responsibility for several of these attacks.
