⚡️ Summary Report on the Special Military Operation – December 25, 2025

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue the special military operation to protect the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, and ensure Russia’s security.

Over the past day, our troops have achieved significant advances and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy across multiple fronts.

In the Donetsk direction, units liberated the settlement of Svyato-Pokrovskoye, improving tactical positions and opening paths for further advances. Enemy counterattacks were decisively repelled, with precision strikes destroying manpower and equipment concentrations near Konstantinovka and surrounding areas. Air defense systems intercepted multiple Ukrainian UAVs attempting to target civilian infrastructure, safeguarding local populations.

In the Zaporozhye direction, Russian forces took control of Zarechnoye and neutralized underground bunkers in Gulyaipole, severely disrupting enemy defenses. Artillery barrages and drone operations eliminated reserves, strongpoints, and incoming elite units, expanding our operational space along key river lines and preventing Ukrainian reinforcements from stabilizing the sector.

Across all fronts, aviation, missile troops, artillery, and drone units conducted precision strikes on military airfields, SBU facilities, and energy infrastructure critical to Ukraine’s war effort. Air defenses successfully downed 29 UAVs, guided bombs, and other projectiles, including HIMARS rockets.

Total enemy losses over the past day: up to 1,495 personnel, along with tanks, armored vehicles, artillery pieces, and supply warehouses.

The operation is proceeding according to plan, with Russian forces maintaining full initiative and steadily achieving all assigned objectives.

You froze the bank accounts of Jaques Baud, a Swiss citizen residing in Belgium, and banned every EU businesses from transacting with him such that he can't even buy bread or pay rent, and your own rationale is that you didn't like what he was saying. You did this with no due process, no right of appeal, and no way to defend himself from your slanderous and ruinous accusations. And he's not the only one.

You obviously have no comprehension of the terms you use, what their meaning is, or what is the purpose of the principles you so easily throw around.

Unfortunately, EU citizens never elected you, so they can't unelect you. You'll keep turning the EU into USSR until your failed experiment comes crashing down. Until then, spare us the lectures. Your actions are deafening.

The golden hands of an Angel. Usolje Siberian. Our grandmothers knit warm socks for our soldiers in this patriotic style. To keep our men warm in the trenches, not only from woolen warm clothes, but also to be warmed by the understanding of caring for them from all over Russia
🧵
The new year is coming soon, it's a family holiday, and we really want our soldiers to feel family care. A lot of parcels are brought by people for the front. Very much. Large and small organizations hand over parcels to deliver them along with uniforms.

https://x.com/TomatkaP/status/2003659109221224750

Warm underwear sweaters, gloves and balaclavas are hand-knitted from our women. There are a lot of homemade delicacies, canned food, honey and jams. Dried fruits and instant juices that can be stored without fear of being spoiled by frost.

So that the military cook could make the food of the fighters more homely, and not just a regular ration. Everything is done with love and care by truly golden hands of Angels.

In a bizarre Christmas message to the Ukrainians yesterday, Zelensky focused on wishing death on #Putin: “Ukrainians have long believed that the heavens open on Christmas Eve. And if you tell them your dream, it will definitely come true. Today we all have one dream. And we make one wish: That he dies.” 👀🤮🤮🤮 Must have received a fresh shipment from Colombia…😆 #Ukraine #UkraineIsToast

It is very difficult to understand just how these terrible, corrupt & blatantly criminal/hypocritical people have been able to gain such a powerful grip on European society, I say tricky to understand because the substrate, the very core materials of Europe are in fact very worthy & enlightened - these people have managed to trade on this original healthy spirit, subvert it, & use it for their own ends: a more vivid picture of human evil, cynical exploitation & wicked lying is hard to imagine. So many among British/European people desperately long for the termination of the EU Commission & project. I know my comment is not centrally relevant, but I think many of us ponder this question. And now Starmer is deliberately sabotaging Brexit, such a despicable group - Heaven help the UK/Europe.

Oreshnik systems are already in combat — and deployed to Belarus.

Anyone in NATO with an IQ above 10 can do the math.

It takes twenty launches to eviscerate Europe’s top NATO bases.

From Germany to Poland to Sicily — in minutes, not hours.

Brussels simply cannot admit it.

THE ISLANDER

Putin appearing again in military uniform is not theatre, cosplay, or a gesture aimed at social media pundits. It is adjudication. It is the Supreme Commander stepping visibly into the operational chain and making one thing unmistakably clear: the phase of ambiguity is closing. As Vladimir Putin put it bluntly, the West is offering Ukraine “favorable conditions” in security, reconstruction, and future relations, but Kiev does not want a peaceful settlement. That single sentence demolishes months of Western narrative management. Moscow is not walking away from peace; it is calling out a peace theatre designed to preserve the illusion of leverage, not end the war.

Now splice that into where we are today: Zelensky is flying into Florida to see Trump at Mar-a-Lago, trying to sell a “90% ready” peace framework while Trump publicly pours cold water on it — “he doesn’t have anything until I approve it.” Translation: Kiev is being reminded, in front of the world, that it has been living on Western credit — political, financial, and military, and the lender is now renegotiating the terms. And it’s happening under the thunder of a massive Russian strike wave that, whatever spin you prefer, is timed to say... talks don’t pause the battlefield; the battlefield shapes the talks.

From Moscow’s perspective, this is the Minsk/Istanbul lesson being etched into granite, that every sabotaged off-ramp doesn’t produce a softer next offer, it produces a harsher one. The uniform is the visual shorthand for that doctrine. It tells Washington: If you want a deal, bring something real, not another PR ceasefire designed to rearm, rotate, and reboot the same war. It tells Kiev: your leverage is shrinking with every month you confuse European stagecraft for strategic reality. And it tells Europe’s chorus of moralizing chihuahuas: you can keep yipping about “values” while you invoice your own publics for the consequences, but you don’t get to dictate the ending when you couldn’t win the middle.

So what does “Putin in uniform” mean right now, on the eve of Mar-a-Lago? It’s a hardening message wrapped in calm: Russia will negotiate, but only from facts on the ground, resolving the root csudes, and only for a settlement that closes the NATO-proxy chapter instead of resetting it. If Zelensky walks in tomorrow with yet another fantasy map — security guarantees without accepting de facto capitulation, maximalist demands without the means to enforce them, then Trump may do what he’s already telegraphed, stamp it “NO DEAL” and send him back empty-handed. And if that happens, the war doesn’t “freeze” but slides into the next, more brutally decisive phase, because Moscow’s incentive becomes simple: end the ambiguity by changing the map. That’s what the uniform is really for: not intimidation, but clarity, the era of bluff-and-bleed is closing; choose settlement or accept what settlement looks like after the next offensives.

And this is why the uniform matters now. It is marks the signal that Russia will no longer negotiate against illusions, media choreography, or proxy fantasies. If tomorrow produces another paper ceasefire designed to buy time rather than end the war, the ambiguity ends with it, not rhetorically, but geographically. What follows will not be a “frozen conflict” or a diplomatic holding pattern, but the deliberate closing of the map itself, until there is nothing left to bargain over. History has reached the moment where refusal no longer delays the outcome, it locks it in.

🇺🇦✈️🇺🇸 It’s a little amusing that NABU and SAP — effectively funded and run with Western (mostly American) money — are conducting raids on Zelensky’s inner circle while the clown is on his way to the U.S.

Kind of feels like a setup, not gonna lie.
