Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is calling for intensified U.S. pressure on Russia after a new wave of missile and drone strikes left parts of Kyiv without heat, electricity, and water. The attacks, which targeted critical infrastructure during freezing winter temperatures, plunged several districts into darkness and disrupted essential services.

South Korean President Declares Emergency Martial Law


 In a surprising move, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared emergency martial law on Tuesday, citing the need to protect the country's constitutional order. The declaration accuses the opposition of controlling the parliament, sympathizing with North Korea, and engaging in anti-state activities.

During a televised briefing, President Yoon vowed to "eradicate pro-North Korean forces and protect the constitutional democratic order." He emphasized the necessity of the martial law to "rebuild and protect the free Republic of Korea," which he claims is falling into national ruin.

The announcement has drawn immediate criticism from politicians across the spectrum. Han Dong-hoon, leader of Yoon's own conservative party, called the decision "wrong" and vowed to stop it with the people. Opposition leader Lee Jae-myung, who narrowly lost to Yoon in the 2022 presidential election, labeled the declaration "illegal and unconstitutional."

The declaration's impact on South Korea's governance and democracy remains unclear, but it has certainly intensified the political turmoil in the country. As the situation unfolds, the world watches closely to see how this unprecedented move will shape the future of South Korea.
