Lots of Russia ship activity going on at the moment. Rumours suggesting large scale missile attack in the next day or 2.

As per tradition the Admiral Kuznetsov is on fire again.

None whatsoever. There was no real hatred between the two forces at that point of that war.

This invasion has seen atrocities, war crimes and attempted genocide. I'd expect the only 'kickabout' a Ukrainian would want would be a Russians head.

Nah, some of them celebrate Christmas on 25th December (Catholic and Orthodox Ukraine/Russia), some on 7th January(Same Edit: but only Orthodox) the Eastern Russians split it between April 21st and June 28th (Islamic Russians) and the hardcore communists don't give a shite about Christmas and would probably prefer May 1st. The argument about dates could start a worse war.
