🇷🇺👉🇺🇸Statement by the Foreign Ministry regarding the latest US Sanctions against the Russian Federation
The decision by the current US administration to impose new restrictive measures against Russia’s energy sector as a whole, as well as against several major companies, including personal sanctions targeting their leadership and officials from the Russian Ministry of Energy, represents an attempt to inflict damage on the Russian economy at any cost, even at the risk of destabilising global markets. This move comes in the waning days of President Joe Biden’s lacklustre tenure in office.
Against the backdrop of Washington’s failed bid to achieve a “strategic defeat” over Moscow, and despite unprecedented external pressure through sanctions aimed at undermining the Russian economy, our country has not only withstood these efforts but continues to develop. The outgoing administration’s attempts to further tighten restrictions appear to be aimed at creating maximum obstacles for bilateral economic relations, including those involving US businesses, or making such cooperation entirely impossible.
In the process, the interests of both the United States’ European allies – who are being forced to switch to more expensive and less reliable American supplies – and its own citizens are being sacrificed. This is particularly evident as the population suffers from the aftermath of massive wildfires in California. Public opinion on rising fuel prices, which mattered before the November presidential election (when Russian petroleum products were quietly purchased through intermediaries), can now be ignored. As a result, the incoming president, who cannot revoke these sanctions without congressional approval, will inherit a scorched earth policy – both figuratively and literally.
☝️ Naturally, Washington’s hostile actions will not go unanswered and will be taken into account as we shape our foreign economic strategy.
Major domestic projects for oil and gas extraction, import substitution, oilfield services, and the construction of nuclear power plants in third countries will continue to move forward. Despite the convulsions in the White House and the manoeuvres of the Russophobic lobby in the West, seeking to drag the global energy sector into the US-initiated hybrid war against Russia, our country remains, and will continue to be, a key and reliable player in the global fuel market.

🇺🇸😯🇷🇺Former US National Security Advisor McMaster: Current US Missile Defense Systems (THAAD and AEGIS) are ineffective against Oreshnik and no working defence in sight for the next 15 years
The British Centre for Defence Studies has published an analysis of the Oreshnik. In addition to the expected characteristics, it provides assessments of this system from British and American experts. In particular, former US National Security Advisor General Herbert McMaster stated:
Probability models show that the THAAD and AEGIS systems are not capable of effectively countering the Oreshnik, and systems that can reliably shoot down the missile will not appear in US service in the next 15 years.
McMaster's words are confirmed by Ben Wallace, former UK Defence Secretary. On December 10, during the Chattam House conference, he noted
we must admit that they (the Russians) have created something new that NATO systems cannot counter.
According to ISW Chairman Jack Keane, Russia has other, more advanced missile systems that the world has yet to see.

I am very proud of what our boys did. They laid this equipment, their most terrible equipment, at their feet, on their knees, our Pskov paratroopers are the coolest, the strongest, said one of the visitors. #Russia

Ukrainian terrorism targets civilian bus driver in Gorlovka, killing him.
I've written before (see: https://t.me/Reality_Theories/12336) how these drivers are heroes, risking Ukrainian shelling (or now targeting drone strikes) to driver people where they need to go.
"In Gorlovka, DPR, the driver of a bus on line number 2 was killed as a result of the dropping of an explosive object by a Ukrainian drone, Mayor Ivan Prikhodko reported."

Su-34 Bomber Successfully Launches Kinzhal Hypersonic Missile in SMO
For the first time, the Russian military has used the Kinzhal hypersonic missile from the Su-34 bomber, marking a significant milestone in the Special Military Operation (SMO). The initial launch was conducted by test pilot Colonel Maxim Stefanov.
Traditionally deployed by the MiG-31I, the Kinzhal now benefits from the Su-34’s longer flight range and reduced detectability. Unlike the MiG-31, which often attracts enemy attention, the Su-34’s flexibility makes it harder for adversaries to identify and target Kinzhal carriers.
This development not only enhances the frontline bomber’s capabilities but also extends the missile’s operational radius. Experts suggest that future Su-34 fleets may even replace the MiG-31 for Kinzhal deployment.
First hinted at in September 2023, this breakthrough was confirmed today by the military newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda.

‼️🇷🇺🇩🇪🇺🇦 The "German scenario" of settlement with the division of Ukraine into analogues of "FRG and GDR" has no chance, Medvedev believes. There is no option of returning the eastern territories to #Ukraine.
In the historical perspective, the "German option" of settlement for Ukraine is possible only in the form of annexation of the remaining lands of Ukraine to the #Russian Federation, the deputy head of the Russian Security Council noted.

‼️🇺🇦 Jan. 11th, Ukraine attempted an attack on the Turkstream pipeline station. All drones were shot down by the Russian AD system.
This pipeline is crucial for central Europe. Earlier last year, Orban stated that an attack on any Hungarian infrastructure will be considered war on Hungary. Same goes for Turkey and Serbia.
