(Reuters) - Russia acknowledged that scores of its troops were killed in one of the Ukraine war's deadliest strikes, drawing demands from nationalist bloggers for commanders to be punished for housing soldiers alongside an ammunition dump.

Ukraine said it had shot down all Russian drones fired in a third straight night of air strikes.

FIGHTING

* Russia said 63 Russian soldiers had been killed in a Ukrainian New Year's Eve attack on their quarters in the town of Makiivka, triggering furious criticism of the military leadership from lawmakers and pro-war bloggers.

* Ukraine's air defence systems destroyed 22 air objects above Kyiv early on Monday, its military administration said.

* The strikes knocked out some power and heating, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram. Earlier, one person was wounded by debris from a destroyed drone.

* The regional military command in Ukraine's east said air defence systems destroyed nine Iranian-made drones over the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions.

* A Ukrainian drone attack damaged an electricity facility in the southwest of Russia's Bryansk region, bordering Ukraine, cutting power for several hours, the regional governor said.

* Russia is planning a protracted campaign of attacks with Iranian drones to "exhaust" Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said.

PUTIN ADDRESS

* Russian President Vladimir Putin devoted his annual New Year's address to rallying the Russian people behind his troops fighting in Ukraine and pledging victory over Ukrainian "neo-Nazis" and a West supposedly intent on "destroying Russia".

* Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said victory for Russia over Ukraine was "inevitable" as he hailed Russian soldiers' heroism in a New Year's video message.

ZELENSKIY ADDRESS

* Zelenskiy said in a New Year message that his only wish for all Ukrainians for 2023 was victory and he resolved to stay the course while the country fights for it. "We fight and will continue to fight. For the sake of the key word: 'victory'." 

DIPLOMACY

* Zelenskiy said Ukraine awaiting 2023's first tranche of European Union (EU) macrofinancial aid in January, after speaking to European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen.

QUOTE

* "It is a huge tragedy. It is a huge tragedy that cannot ever be forgiven. That is why the New Year is sad." -Ukrainian soldier Pavlo Pryzhehodskiy, 27, who had lost 12 of his comrades in a single night of fighting.

We are beginning to understand prighozins plan for wagner recruitment. He takes rapist and murderes from prisons and morons seeking somewhere to belong and promise them lots of money, but they never get any because they die before they can collect…thats how you get a free army.
traitor trump? Worst president in history and its not close
Yes i don’t think trump should have been president in USA but we must remember Obama and USA reset policy a big mistake naiv the biggest mistake foreign policy American Germany angel merkel naiv policy industries buying cheap gas but now we have to stop putin if we don’t stop putin won’t stop in ukraine a average kgb agent have starting this war and china is playing the same game we have to stop them before it’s too late
As the old russians say you stop dancing with the bear when the bear is tired not when you are tired but i think now it’s and old ukrainischen saying
Is it true that Prygozhyn has ended his contract with Russia and is withdrawing his Wagner mercenaries from Ukraine?
they all need to hang
Maybe he need his forces in Russia to do a coup d'etat against Putin.
dont believe anything coming out of russia until you see it with your own two eyes
UPS!!! 600 Russian newly mobilized soldiers are dead overnight while sleeping in Donetsk area when a military barrack exploded caused by HIMARS attack an underground ammunition depot in the barrack did not make the explosion smaller. Placing 600 soldiers on top of an ammunition depot perhaps requires a review of russian war tactics, but not surprising considering the level of intellegence in Russian leadership. Dear russian when will you stop walking into the abyss with Putin who has attacked a peacefull country??? please learn soon and take action against your evil regime
I heard it was a commander's careless cigarette.
Maybe the russian soldiers should give up smooking cigarettes especially near military barracks, airfields, fighterplanes, tanks, artillery equipment, Railway stations, warships, ammunition depots, dronefactories, large bridges, Russian administration buildings in occupied territories and war command centers.....or perhaps they should consider getting the hell out of dodge and leave Ukraine as fast as possible.
yeah, smoking is bad for your health..
Neo nazis it’s a joke the Russians people believe that it’s insane
kind of like people who believe Biden
What kind of mor. on. are you?
you triggered snowflake terrorist types are such losers.
So the must comical new year predictions came from russian medvedev. He believes the poland and hungary will invade west ukraine while russia takes the east and south ukraine so that the land will seize to exist. Also he thinks that germany and france will be at war with eachother and the fourth reich will appear. Eu will seize to exist and usa will have an internal civil war, thus both the euro and dollar will be currencies no longer valid. I do not know which drugs he is taking but I suggest that he admits himself to the nearest assyllum for the crazies or better still shoots himself in the head. This will reduce his pain of living and cause no addional damage to his head than he already has.
yep, putins poodle has been told what to think and say for so long now that he's lost his brain altogether
If a Republican were in the White House the left would be protesting against war instead of wearing blue and yellow.
  And people's self determination not to be exposed to diseases from anti-vaxxers.
Limit has the brain cell count of a racoon. If Trump had declared wsr on RuZZia he would be simping and grovelling to be the first to choke on Trumps nub for how “brilliant” the decision is.
J6 terorrist simp and beta male snowflake begone
Sorry dear Russian, but the war in ukraine is lost and you will have to leave all occupied territories. If you insist on following Putin into the abyss instead of removing him from office you men between 21-40 will be wiped out, because does not care if you live or die just as long as his evil regime can stay in power and suck all money out of your pockets.Good luck in 2023 I hope you make the right decision and stop this madness you have unleashed on the whole world
They won’t listen they want blood it’s insane what Kreml:putin can do the Russians is a disgrace to the democracy they all support this holocausttt
At 5600 miles from Ukraine the U.S. which is really fighting this war has zero chance of winning it. ukraine being a very corrupt nation does also does not stand a chance. this is putly bidens baby for which we the people of the U.S. are paying for his folly.
Russian troll
Ukrainians are fight this war.  The US is helping.  Win or lose, every Russian invader taken out now is 1 less Russian to invade a Nato countries later.  Ukraine is less corrupt than Russian, and less corrupt now with less Russian influence, and will be more corrupt later if Russia wins.  And it's obvious retrumplicans are pro-Putin, and Russian trolls are retrumplicans.
Lmao we did Iraq and Afgan at the same time for two decades and you think we couldnt do the same in Ukraine for half the cost of those two disasters? Please, lmao.
Let's hope 2023 will be the year somebody puts a bullit in putlers evil little skull
Joe Biden said in 2009, "It’s time to press the reset button and to revisit the many areas where we can and should be working together with Russia." He and Obama did little in 2014 when Russia started the Ukraine invasion. There's no realistic end in sight to war now.
if if if and if ,,,,we will fight for ukraine and democracy blame Russia and putin for this and he will lose
Morality according the Albrighty Bible Brad!
What didn't they do that they should've?  Praise Putin and call him a good friend and genius?

Happy new year to all non Russians people in all way we hope 2023 will mean freedom for ukrainischen people
The wests over reaction to a border dispute.
Russia militarily invades a neighbor without legal or moral justification. 144 nations of the world condemn the barbarism at the UN. 4 of the world's worst totalitarian countries side with Russia. And in Tom's mind the west is worse for assisting the victim. Go it.
Russia is fighting in Europe thats not USA we call the Americans to help us we in Europe fights against putin please don’t say it’s only the Americans we all in Europa are fighting against the Russians
and Biden should get Nobel prize 🏆 for world peace
They are afraid the russians they just want to fight from distance shelling the innocents send special troops and long distance missilery
First of all the rouble is still under capital controls and nato needs to fight. Why cant Ukraine go after energy infrastructure in Russia
Yes nato should send special troops in Russia and Belarus
Lmao shoigu is a mass murderer
He will hang like the dog he is
Daily missile and drone strikes from Russia all over Ukraine means that  civilians are attacked daily and I see videos on youtube with russians making fun of Ukranian civilians suffering with no heat, electricity and children dying of random hits by russians. Who are these people??? are we truely living on the same planet, How can there be such a difference of opinions between us. 144 countries sees this on a daily basis and oppose the Russian invasion, but still there are supporters like alexov defending the undefendable and hatefull Russian propaganda channels on youtube by fox news and others it is a disgrace. Its likee watching your neigbour being attacked by robbers and murderes and you just turn off the lights and go the bed, sleep and do nothing, and when people ask on your opinion you just say its not my problem I have no opinion...that must surely be the definition of cowardice.
We must fight this evil for good before it’s running out off ours hands china iran Middle East putin is trying to get them on his side and we mist step sorry to say it but evil can’t be stop with kindness
 I agree Putin unfortunately only understands strength and all talk of peace where Russia gains 1 square meter of Ukraine territory is gone forever...This could very well turn into a very long war, with millions dying over several years. And western world leaders must surely consider how long we can deny ukraine the right weapons to counterattack the russians. They should have be getting planes and long range missiles long time ago,
In 2world died 60millions usa step in the 1941 it started in 1939 when japan have joint italy Germany japan attacks Pearl Harbor and this war in ukraine is nearly the we have to be very careful we must not wait we should fight them now hitler or putin xiping same same
close all russian embassies in the western world and expell all russians that support Putins regime they are russian spies anyway all working to undermine our societies. We should not be doing business with russia so we should at the same time close our own embassy in Russia.
👍👍👍👍👍now the ukrainischen people are getting killlll it’s holocaustttt putin is playimg with there’s life
Don’t let the ukrainischen people suffer more send special troops to ukraine not war a special operation man hunt after russians soldiers killiiing civilians
The only way to stop is to deliver more longdistance weapons NATOs special troops 50000 in one big operation not war special operation

FYI I am not a paid propagandist for Ukraine, Ukraine would never need to pay me 1 cent for my comments in this debate forum. I am a simple concerned world citizen that have no tolerence for Bullies, Liars and dictators that deprive other people of their freedom of choice. I think the Ukraine war is one of the most important events in this decade where it is truely important that we stand up for our democratic values against dictatorship and help in any way possible Ukraine who are fighting and sacrificing their lives for these values. Yes I truely dislike the atrocities Russia and Putin are doing in Ukraine and feel great symphathy for Ukraines fight. The pro-russian commentators in here are in my mind without any human moral compass and needs to understand that this is not accepted if we are going to live in peace on this planet that we share together.
Well said, Ken. The Russian apologists here never make a moral argument in favor if Russia's actions in Ukraine.
Slava ukraine my wife work in healthcare there is a woman from Russia who have a picture off putin on her Telefon its insane we must send all Russians home and close borders it’s insane don’t they see what going on they have live all there live in lies believing in what they must be destroyed and start from zero
