At
the end of a very long year, this holiday season provides the perfect
opportunity to spend time with our loved ones, center ourselves, and
recharge our batteries.
It
is also a time to take stock of what really matters, not just in our
personal lives but also in terms of the values we hold dear.
That is certainly what we will be doing here at WhoWhatWhy.
While we are going to keep covering any major news over the holidays,
you will also see a selection of some of our most important stories from
2025.
That will allow us to also take a quick breather and get ready for what will surely be another whirlwind year.
Our
“best of” compilations will also give you a glimpse at what a
determined group of people, many of whom are volunteers, can accomplish
on a shoestring budget.
We are extremely proud of our work and love sharing it with you.
We also hope that you appreciate it and will continue to be a reader, and perhaps even a donor, next year.
We
will once again do our best to cover the news in a way that is more
insightful and blunter than most corporate media organizations dare to
be.
For now, however, from our WhoWhatWhy family to yours, we wish you Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.

The U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that he will speak to Vladimir Putin soon and has added that Zelensky doesn’t have anything before he approves it.
The Russians have hinted at a possible rejection of the “20 point peace plan” as according to Sergei Ryabkov
The “20 point peace plan” is very different than the “27 point peace plan” which the US has agreed upon with Russia.
An official from the Elysee Palace has stated that a meeting will be scheduled in early January about finalising the security guarantees to Ukraine.
