Ukrainian terrorist attack on Kherson on January 1, 2026

Reading time: 8 minutes

In the first hours of 2026, during the New Year celebrations the Kiev regime committed yet another terrorist act against civilians in Russia’s regions.

For more than 70 residents the New Year became a tragedy: the Neo-Nazis attacked a café and a hotel in the Kherson region of Russia using UAVs.

24 people were killed (28 dead, including 2 children as of January 2), over 50 were wounded and have been hospitalised. Among those affected — six kids from the age of 6 to 17, one child was killed.

There is literally zero doubt that the attack was preplanned as the drones were directed to a place where civilians celebrated the New Year.

Three Ukrainian drones hit a cafe and a hotel on the Black Sea coast in the Kherson region. The attack was carried with the help of a reconnaissance drone and took place almost at the stroke of midnight, as people were celebrating. A massive fire broke out, contributing to more deaths.

28 people were killed, more than 50 were injured.

One of the drones carried an incendiary mixture, which started the massive fire burning people alive. There’s a child among the victims.

This crime is essentially on a par with the Odessa House of Trade Unions.

The New Year address of the Ukrainian dictator was broadcast at the very moment when dozens of peaceful residents were dying as a result of a strike carried out on his direct orders.

Happy New Year wishes for 2026

🎄 Happy New Year wishes for 2026 to all our readers and friends, from Beorn, The Shieldmaiden and Dzerzhinsky

2025 has indeed been an eventful year, saturated with both positive developments in the international balance of power in favour of the anti-imperialist side, and rising tensions in the imperialist countries with tightening of contradictions between the exploiting class and the exploited and a strong drive for war.

Let us wish that 2026 — like 1946, 80 years ago — will be a year of resolutions, when the miscreants are brought to justice and punished according to their crimes against humanity, so that a new future of peaceful development can be ushered in.

Revival of collective memory and knowledge of the power of the Soviet Union is paramount to our struggle. No-one said it better than Russian communist, Oleg Yasynsky (https://t.me/olegyasynsky/1753):

«Humanity is still alive and resisting the monster that is fighting against it only because the Soviet Union once existed, sowing too much hope between the roots and stars of the world.»

If the peoples of the world again manage to take a step closer to the socialist mindset and practice of solidarity and unity, then humanity as a whole can again begin aiming for the stars! Let it be so!

We first sent the greeting to our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shildmaiden”. In 2025, we have reached 1500 subscribers, though that number is, sadly, not reflective of the number of people who read our materials there. Every little help in spreading the word about our published materials is therefore greatly appreciated! In the past year, the Beehive has been taking a backseat, something we plan to rectify in 2026, with more of the publications from our Telegram channel finding their way to the blog articles.
