Worth noting, korrespondent.net has compiled its Invasion of Ukraine series into separate months, beginning May 9th, 2023. Linked in the title.
[Korrespondent] 22.35 Russia is likely trying to hide the losses of the DPRK military participating in the war against Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
"Unfortunately, we have to defend ourselves from them (the Koreans, - ed.) Although there is no reason for Koreans to die in this war. The only reason is Putin's madness, which has engulfed Russia and is fueling this war," the head of state said.
21.57 Newly elected US President Donald Trump has not ruled out the possibility of revoking US permission for Ukraine to strike with Western weapons deep into Russia. Asked whether he might reconsider the strike decision after taking office, he said: "Maybe."
21:35 North Korean troops have fought alongside Russian forces for the first time in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation and suffered losses, Pentagon spokesman Major General Pat Ryder said.
"We have evidence that they are suffering casualties, both killed and wounded," he said.
20.57 The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry called on Hungary to stop making statements about its ability to stop the war that are not true, and to refrain from unilateral contacts with Russia.
"We call on the Hungarian side to stop immoral manipulations on the topic of peace and the Nativity of Christ, to refrain from unilateral contacts with the aggressor state, which undermine joint efforts to restore a just peace. The only obstacle to peace is Russia and its war-obsessed dictator. Ukraine strives for peace on its soil like no one else in the world," the department said in a statement.
20.50 Russian troops attacked the city of Kupyansk in the Kharkiv region. One civilian man was killed, another was hospitalized in a medical facility in serious condition.
The Russian army hit a residential area of the city, damaging residential buildings.
19:15 Russians shelled populated areas of the Kherson region with artillery and drones. In Berislav, a 53-year-old woman was killed as a result of explosives dropped from an enemy drone on a store. Another local resident received an explosion injury and concussion.
As a result of the attacks in the regional center, a man received a head injury. Three people were also injured in the Kherson suburb of Antonovka.
17.19 Ukraine has a laser weapon called Trizub. It can shoot down aircraft at an altitude of over 2 km, said Colonel Vadym Sukharevsky, commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Unmanned Systems Forces.
16.56 Ukrainian military destroyed and damaged 181 Russian army vehicles on December 14. This is the maximum defeat of this type of equipment in one day since the beginning of the war.
16:10 In the Zaporizhzhya direction, servicemen of the Spartan operational brigade of the National Guard captured a 46-year-old citizen of Uzbekistan, who fought on the side of Russia.
The man signed the contract, hoping to avoid a criminal record and earn money. However, he never received the promised 2.3 million rubles in salary.
15.44 The Italian government on December 16 agreed to provide Ukraine with its tenth package of military aid amid a full-scale Russian invasion. This was reported by ANSA on Monday, December 16.
14.37 The SBU has announced in absentia suspicion of Russian Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, who gave orders regarding the use of chemical weapons against Ukrainian soldiers. He is involved in more than 4.8 thousand cases of using toxic substances at the front. This was reported by the SBU press service on Monday, December 16.
14:03 This year, more than 1,000 people are allegedly signing contracts with the Russian Defense Ministry every day. This was stated by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin at a meeting of the military department.
13:49 A Ukrainian drone filmed footage of a Russian soldier finishing off his wounded comrade-in-arms.
13:10 Before talking about sending peacekeepers to Ukraine, peace must first be achieved. This was stated by the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas in Brussels.
12:33 The European Union adopted the 15th package of sanctions against Russia. The new restrictions are aimed at Vladimir Putin's "shadow fleet" and are intended to weaken the Russian military-industrial complex.
12:29 Russian troops killed a teenager in the village of Shevchenko near Pokrovsk - he died due to shelling on December 11. This was reported by the press service of the Pokrovsk city military administration.
11:51 The efficiency of using FPV drones in various units of the Defense Forces and the Russian military is 20-40%. This was stated by the commander of the separate regiment of strike unmanned aerial systems Ptahi Madyara Robert Brovdi.
11:46 Serial production of the new drone missile Peklo has begun in Ukraine. The developer company has manufactured about 100 units of such weapons and is now increasing its production capabilities.
10:54 North Korean assault units are being replenished with new personnel after losses in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation. According to the Main Intelligence Directorate, on December 14 and 15 alone, in the areas of the villages of Plekhovo, Vorozhba, and Martynovka, units of the DPRK army lost at least 30 soldiers killed and wounded.

10:22 Ukrainian defenders used drones to destroy an enemy artillery and mortar ammunition depot near the village of Markino in the temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk Oblast.
9:57 Russian troops in the Kharkiv direction are actively using ammunition and manpower brought in from North Korea. However, the quality of North Korean weapons causes serious problems.

7:58 Atesh partisans reported that the invaders have set up numerous fortifications on the administrative border of the Kherson Oblast and Crimea, which is temporarily controlled by Russian occupiers.
