Ukrainians suffer in cold, darkness as president implores U.N. to punish Russia
Ukrainian President Zelenskiy urged the UN Security Council to punish Russia for recent missile strikes that caused widespread power outages and suffering as winter sets in.
Russia's missile barrage killed 10 people, forced nuclear plant shutdowns, and cut water and electricity across Ukraine, targeting civilian infrastructure and plunging millions into darkness and cold.
The U.S. condemned Russia for 'weaponizing winter,' while Russia's UN ambassador rejected the accusations, blaming Ukrainian air defenses for infrastructure damage.
Despite the severe infrastructure damage and ongoing suffering, Zelenskiy vowed that Ukraine would rebuild and remain 'unbreakable,' as ground battles continue in the east.

Democratic takeover of US Congress: What happens next
Democrats plan an ambitious legislative push in the House's first 100 hours, focusing on affordability, healthcare, and reversing Trump-era policies.
They will launch extensive investigations into alleged corruption and abuses within the Trump administration, using committee powers to subpoena officials and documents.
The Senate majority grants Democrats the power to block Trump's judicial and cabinet nominees, significantly curbing his influence on federal appointments.
Despite their victories, Democrats face significant obstacles, including Trump's veto power and Senate procedural rules, making legislative progress difficult without bipartisan cooperation.
