  KYIV, Ukraine - The head of the Russian Orthodox Church called Thursday for a 36-hour Christmas cease-fire in Ukraine at the end of this week, but his appeal looked unlikely to bring any breakthrough in halting the war that began last February with Russia's invasion.
  Elsewhere, the head of NATO said he detected no change in Moscow's stance on Ukraine, insisting that the Kremlin "Wants a Europe where they can control a neighboring country."
  Taking Bakhmut would not only offer Putin a major battlefield gain after months of setbacks, it would also rupture Ukraine's supply lines and open a route for Russian forces to press on toward key Ukrainian strongholds in Donetsk.
