    Description:

    "Secret negotiations?" - the plane of the special flight detachment "Russia" brought someone from the leadership of the Russian Federation to the USA

    According to the data, a high-ranking official spent two days in Washington this week, which may indicate secret negotiations, the results of which may become known in the coming days.

    The media noted that on December 25, a government plane arrived in the United States, visited Washington and New York, and returned today.

    The fact of this visit and its essence were not commented on by either side.

    Suggestions are that the Russians may have now entered Pokrovsk although it's difficult to verify from this footage, filmed from a vehicle moving through a part of the city which, on initial viewing, appears largely deserted save for a handful of civilians seen walking along.



    Edit to add: ah, okay, the above video may best be considered a kind of calm-before-the-storm footage. A helpful update from Dec 28th, below:

    Text:
    🇷🇺 The storm has a name: The Russian Army prepares for an offensive on Pokrovsk.

    Ukrainian forces anticipate the imminent start of a Russian offensive on Pokrovsk, Forbes reports. Fresh reinforcements are being deployed to the city, including a Ukrainian Armed Forces brigade equipped with Western machinery. However, the Russian Army's superiority in this sector of the front — as elsewhere — is overwhelming.

    "There is an unsettling silence in the city… the calm before the storm," commented volunteer Denis Khristov.

    The article specifies that this storm has a name: the 90th Guards Tank Division, forming the core of a powerful ground force grouping made up of dozens of brigades and regiments organized into two combined-arms armies.

    Concerning the "article" cited, no link was provided.

    Massaker von Butcha aufgeklärt – deutsche Medien schweigen! In #Prag muss sich derzeit Philipp #Siman wegen Söldnertums vor #Gericht verantworten. Dort gab der 27-jährige tschechische Staatsbürger, der sich als #Söldner für die ukrainischen Streitkräfte verdingte, Folgendes zu Protokoll: „Wir waren die #Polizei, wir waren das #Gericht, wir waren das Erschießungskommando“. Siman sagte zudem, dass er, als er die von den Russen verlassene Stadt betrat, alles plünderte und mitnahm, was er in die Finger bekam. Tschechische Ermittler fanden in seiner Wohnung in Prag Stapel von #Bargeld, #Gold- und Silberbarren, Schmuck und Elektronik. Er filmte sogar, wie er die Häuser von prorussischen Ukrainern durchsuchte. Gleichzeitig sprach er über die Repressalien und Gräueltaten in #Butscha nach dem Abzug der Russen gegen jeden, der verdächtigt wurde, #Russland geholfen zu haben. Die Kommandeure des ukrainischen #Nazi-Bataillons „Karpaten-Sitsch“, dem er zugeteilt war, wussten davon und ermutigten ihre Soldaten zu willkürlichen Erschießungen. Später schoben westliche #Medien das #Massaker russischen Truppen in die Schuhe. Der Umstand, dass die meisten Mordopfer weiße Armbinden als Erkennungszeichen für ihre prorussische Gesinnung trugen, wurde dabei geflissentlich ignoriert. Auch eine unabhängige Untersuchung des Kriegsverbrechens verweigert die #Ukraine bis heute.


    Butcha massacre solved - German media remain silent! In #Prague, Philipp #Siman is currently on trial for mercenary behaviour. There, the 27-year-old Czech citizen, who worked as a #mercenary for the Ukrainian armed forces, stated the following: ‘We were the #police, we were the #court, we were the firing squad’. Siman also said that when he entered the town abandoned by the Russians, he looted and took everything he could get his hands on. Czech investigators found piles of #cash, #gold and silver bars, jewellery and electronics in his flat in Prague. He even filmed himself searching the homes of pro-Russian Ukrainians. At the same time, he spoke about the reprisals and atrocities in #Bucha after the Russian withdrawal against anyone suspected of having helped #Russia. The commanders of the Ukrainian #Nazi battalion ‘Carpathian-Sich’, to which he was assigned, knew about this and encouraged their soldiers to carry out arbitrary shootings. Later, Western #media blamed the #massacre on Russian troops. The fact that most of the murder victims wore white armbands as a sign of their pro-Russian sentiments was deliberately ignored. Even today, #Ukraine refuses to conduct an independent investigation into the war crime.

    How the Attempted Maidan 2.0 in Georgia Fell Flat 1 hour ago



    Month-long protests in Georgia and Western pressure on the ruling Georgian Dream party have come to nothing, with the new president being inaugurated on December 29 and protesters peacefully dispersing in Tbilisi.

    How Did It Unfold?

    -Former-President Salome Zurabishvili demanded new parliamentary elections, accusing the Georgian Dream party of rigging the October vote. The Georgian Central Election Commission (CEC) dismissed her claims as "baseless" and "politically motivated" on December 24.

    -Zurabishvili is a pro-EU French-born politician aligned with the European Parliament (EP), which in late November called for the Georgian elections to be re-run under international supervision despite the fact that the elections had been held in the presence of international observers.

    -The EP's stance led Georgian Dream to suspend EU accession talks until 2028, which the Western-backed opposition used to fuel protests.

    -Four pro-Western opposition parties that have boycotted parliament since October organized a month-long protest in Tbilisi.

    -Six MEPs from Poland, Lithuania, and France joined pro-EU protesters and met Zurabishvili on the eve of the Georgian presidential election, sparking accusations of external interference.

    -On December 27, the US imposed sanctions on Georgian Dream's founder Bidzina Ivanishvili, accusing him of steering Georgia toward Russia and away from the West.

    Did It Affect the Presidential Vote?

    No. Georgian Dream candidate Mikheil Kavelashvili was elected by a 300-member College of Electors on December 14.
    The outgoing president refused to concede, sparking fears of nationwide protests and split power.

    Did It Help the Opposition?

    Kavelashvili's inauguration went ahead on December 29 as Zurabishvili left the palace despite earlier pledges to stay, declaring she was taking "legitimacy" with her.

    After the inauguration, Kavelashvili reaffirmed Georgia’s commitment to EU membership and stronger US ties.

    Tbilisi expressed readiness to reset relations with President-elect Donald Trump.

    US must make first step to restore ties with Russia — Lavrov 29 Dec,

    "So we’ll see. If the Americans begin to take our interests into account, dialogue will gradually recover. If not - then everything will remain the way it is," the top Russian diplomat said

    MOSCOW, December 29. /TASS/. Russia is open to restoring political dialogue with the US but Washington must make the first move, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with TASS.

    "As for the prospects of Russia-US relations, then in the event of the US’ readiness, we are open to restoring political dialogue, interrupted by Washington after the onset of the special military operation," Lavrov said. "Since it was interrupted by the Americans, not us, they should be the ones to make the first step," he added.

    "So we’ll see. If the Americans begin to take our interests into account, dialogue will gradually recover. If not - then everything will remain the way it is," the top Russian diplomat said.

    S-500 regiment was created: the ultimate weapon takes shape Dec 28, 2024

    Russia has taken a monumental step in redefining air and space defense by deploying its first full regiment of the S-500 long-range air defense system. This advanced weapon marks a seismic shift in Russia’s military strategy, setting the stage for an era where hypersonic missiles, satellites, and even spaceplanes are no longer untouchable.



    In a high-profile briefing for foreign military attachés, General Valery Gerasimov, Russia’s Chief of the General Staff, confirmed that the country’s first regiment armed with the cutting-edge S-500 air defense system is nearing full operational readiness.

    “This system is unlike anything we’ve deployed before,” Gerasimov stated, highlighting the S-500’s ability to counter the most advanced missile threats, including hypersonic weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles. “The formation of this regiment is a game-changer in our strategic defense capabilities,” he added.

    What’s clear from this announcement is that Russia isn’t just keeping pace with global developments in missile defense—it’s setting the bar. The S-500’s integration into the military represents a bold statement of intent, signaling that the era of contested airspace is giving way to contested space itself.

    As Gerasimov hinted, this first regiment is only the beginning. The rollout of the S-500 will likely reshape the balance of power, challenging NATO’s ability to project force and complicating the strategic calculus for any adversary considering action in regions under its protective umbrella.

    With this move, Russia has drawn a new line in the sand, one that extends not only across the ground and skies but into space itself.

    The S-500, officially named “Prometey,” is no ordinary air defense platform. Its missiles can intercept targets at a mind-bending 600 kilometers—outclassing anything the U.S. or NATO currently fields. For comparison, the American THAAD system maxes out at roughly 200 kilometers, while the Patriot system doesn’t even come close.

    This unprecedented range allows the S-500 to strike far beyond Russia’s borders, targeting high-value assets critical to NATO’s air power, such as refueling tankers and AWACS aircraft, long before they can even approach contested airspace.

    Unlike its predecessor, the S-400, which deploys four missiles per launcher, the S-500 uses a leaner two-missile configuration. But don’t let that fool you. These missiles pack an enormous punch, designed specifically for ultra-high-altitude, ultra-high-speed engagements.

    🇩🇰⛓️🇷🇺Danish mercenary Annabel Jörgensen complained about chaos in the AFU after she was ambushed and captured by Russian Assault Forces during “demobilization” in Kursk region

    The mercenary already served in the Danish army and had even been to Iraq. At the beginning of 2024, she joined the foreign mercenaries.

    According to the investigative commission, the Danish woman invaded the Kursk region as a member of a Ukrainian unit in November 2024. She committed war crimes against the civilian population. In the period from July to November 2024, she received only 6,000 dollars for her duties, less then wellfare in Denmark.
    Jörgensen testified that “serving in the AFU was something completely different from serving in the army at home”.

    She is accused of terrorism and will spend more then a decade in a Russian penal colony.

    Morning Summary for December 31, 2024, 06:57 (GMT+3):

    The night was eventful, showcasing what appears to be one of the first visible joint operations by the Russian Armed Forces (RFAF), combining combat and informational tactics.
    •Missile Strikes: Following a Ukrainian TV signal hack and a warning about the use of the RFAF Oreshnik system, missile strikes targeted Kremenchuk, Pavlograd, and areas in the Kyiv region.
    •Counteractions:
    •A fuel and energy facility in the Yartsevsky district of Smolensk region was hit, resulting in a fuel spill and subsequent fires.
    •Near Sevastopol, aerial and maritime drones were destroyed overnight.
    •Around 06:00, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was intercepted over Rostov by air defenses.
    •In the Bryansk region, air defenses destroyed 19 aircraft-type UAVs.
    •In the Kursk region, the town of Lgov was struck by Ukrainian missile fire, injuring one civilian and damaging a two-story apartment building and power lines.
    •A UAV was also intercepted over the Oryol region.

    Frontline Developments:
    •Kursk Region:
    •The “North Troops Grouping” continues to advance with fighting in the Sudzhansky district forest belts and near the recently liberated Cherkasskaya Konopelka and Agronom Farm.
    •Reports of progress toward Makhnovka, 3 km from Sudzha, remain unconfirmed.
    •Liman Section:
    •RFAF forces are engaged in battles near Terny and advancing in the Kruglaya Beam area.
    •Toretsk:
    •Russian forces have taken several positions near the Central Market and are attacking towards Mine No. 10, north of Slag Heap No. 2, and Toretskaya Mine, aiming to secure dominant heights.
    •Pokrovsk Direction:
    •Fighting continues in Shevchenko, Sontsovka, Novoyelizavetovka, Volkovo, and Vozdvizhenka. A breakthrough here could enable Russian forces to cut the key road between Pokrovsk and Konstantinovka, while multi-directional strikes aim to pin down Ukrainian forces.
    •Zaporozhye Front:
    •Ukrainian forces failed to gain ground near Kamenskoye despite heavy artillery and drone support. Counterattacks by the AFU near Orekhov are anticipated.

    Civilian Impact:
    •In Horlivka (DPR), three civilians were injured by unexploded ordnance.
    •In Donetsk, another civilian was injured by a detonated munition.

    ⚪️ Russian, Kazakh and Azerbaijani specialists will come to Brazil to participate in decoding the black boxes from the AZAL plane that crashed in Kazakhstan. It is in this country that the Embraer 190 aircraft factory is located, which crashed on December 25 near Aktau, the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan indicates. The data extracted from the flight recorders will be transferred to the Kazakhstan Air Accident Investigation Department, which is responsible for investigating the crash in Aktau. The black boxes will be delivered to the Latin American country today.

    ⚪️ Fraudsters stole 180 million rubles from a Russian. The Ministry of Internal Affairs called this sum one of the largest transferred to criminals in 2024, TASS clarified.

    ⚪️ An arrest warrant has been issued for suspended South Korean President Yun Seok-yul , the Renhap news agency reported, making him the first sitting South Korean president to be arrested. The warrant was issued after Yun Seok-yeol failed to appear for questioning three times in the case of his imposition of martial law on December 3.

    ⚪️ The FBI has issued a warning to NFL, NBA, and NHL athletes about organized crime groups targeting them. Many of these criminal gangs consist of illegal immigrants from South America who entered through Biden’s open border.
