Costumes for Zelensky, Ursula von der Leyen, and Macron:
AI arrived at Santa Trump's with gifts
It's understandable why the cascade of announcements about the liberation of populated areas came just today: it served as a backdrop for Zelensky's visit to Trump.
"Smart people in the West are recommending that Ukraine accept dignified terms for a resolution to the conflict. If Kiev is unwilling to resolve everything peacefully, Russia will resolve all issues through military means. Given the pace of the offensive, Russia's interest in withdrawing the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the territories it occupies is reduced to zero" , Putin said.
Putin THANKS troops for LIBERATING Dimitrov in DPR
‘We’re completing mop-up operation’
‘You displayed GREAT effectiveness’ — Putin
Dimitrov's release is a major step toward the complete liberation of the DPR, Putin stated.
Huliaipole is the second-largest city in the Zaporozhzhia region, and its liberation opens up good prospects for an offensive, Putin stated.
All tasks facing the Russian Armed Forces in the SMO are being carried out according to plan, Putin stated.
Gulyai-Pole is ours! voin_dv reports.
As a result of coordinated and decisive joint assault operations by the Russian 57th and 60th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigades, the 114th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 127th Division of the 5th Army, and the 38th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 35th Army of the "East" Forces Group, the Gulyai-Pole defensive region of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, centered in the town of Gulyai-Pole, was taken under control.
The enemy had prepared it in advance, equipped it with fortifications, and was well protected by a natural water barrier and surrounding buildings. In addition to the actions of the assault units, the contribution of the guards artillerymen of the 305th Brigade of the 5th Army, as well as the 14th Guards Special Forces Brigade, is worth noting, destroying the enemy with fire throughout the battle for Gulyai-Pole.
The Far Eastern troops have occupied a defensive area covering over 76 square kilometers. Kilometers, with Russian flags planted by Far Eastern assault troops in various parts of the village. As a result of the fighting, more than 7,100 buildings and structures were cleared, and over a battalion of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel from the 102nd Separate Troops Brigade, 33rd, 225th, and 425th Separate Regiments, as well as over 50 armored vehicles and motor vehicles, were destroyed.
✨Huliaipole has long been fortified as an important defensive hub for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Its liberation is a significant and important event that will lead to further advances by the Russian Armed Forces.
The Times named its authors' signature cartoon the Cartoon of the Year! You'll agree, it looks beautiful and symbolic.
Especially on the eve of Trump's New Year's Eve meeting with that guy on a pitchfork!
Zelensky wants to dictate 'RED LINES' to Russia
'Territories and the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant'
Brazenly states he’ll REFUSE to 'legally recognize anything under any circumstances'
Kiev this morning and the Russian Geranis. Kiev will lie in ruins. The enemy will be defeated, victory will be ours.

Trump expects to speak with Vladimir Putin 'soon' — Politico
Ahead of Sunday's meeting with Zelensky, Trump predicts 'I think it’s going to go good with him, I think it’s going to go good with Putin'
Maduro on the US attempting to steal Venezuela's natural resources:
In the cities, the US government is creating a virtual reality and attempting to impose Bolívar's model of colonial and slave-owning rule on Venezuela in order to steal its natural resources. This is impossible, because here we have people rooted in their land, in their communities, in their universities, in their factories, and these people have demonstrated sufficient capacity to lead our homeland along the right path, at the right pace, and on the right course.
"POOL N3"
"[Zelensky] has nothing until I approve it. We'll see what he has," Trump emphasized in an interview with Politico.
The statement came ahead of his Sunday meeting with the head of the Kiev regime, where a 20-point peace plan will be discussed.
The American president also said he plans to speak with Putin soon.
🟩 RT in Russian
Everything remains the same. Zelensky, relying on the West, is proposing a plan for Russia's capitulation. Putin hopes to achieve his war goals in Ukraine through negotiations. This means the self-liquidation of the Ukrainian regime. According to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov, the success of the negotiations depends on the political will of the Ukrainian Nazi Banderites. And their only political will is to destroy Russia.
In this situation, Trump could simply step aside, which would be the right thing to do.
Trump could continue to help the Ukrainian Banderites fight against Russia, which is more likely.
And Trump could help Russia in this war, at least by lifting his sanctions. Which is absolutely unbelievable.
The conclusions are clear: the war will continue, and escalation is highly likely.
China hits US with SANCTIONS for selling weapons to Taiwan
20 on US defense firms, 10 on individuals, BANNED from entry to China
Yes, China can play the sanctions game too
Before important negotiations for Ukraine in the US, (American) investigators visit Zelensky's people. This has become a tradition. A good one, by the way. We need to continue.
Valentin Bogdanov, editor-in-chief of the VGTRK bureau in Washington.
Putin:
"The West is offering Ukraine favorable conditions in terms of security, national reconstruction, and relations with Russia, but Kiev doesn't want a peaceful settlement."
They don't want one, and screw them.
If Kiev is unwilling to resolve the conflict peacefully, Russia will resolve all issues through military means, Putin stated.
Russia's interest in withdrawing Ukrainian forces from the territories it occupies is diminishing given the pace of the Russian army's advance, the head of state emphasized.
At a command post of the Joint Group of Forces, Vladimir Putin held a meeting on the situation in the special military operation zone.
Putin was briefed on the liberation of the town of Huliaipole in the Zaporozhzhia region and Dimitrov in the Donetsk People's Republic.
East of Kupyansk, the elimination of Ukrainian Armed Forces units blockaded on the left bank of the Oskol River is underway, according to Gerasimov.
Gerasimov stated that the effort to take control of Donbas, the Zaporozhzhia and Kherson regions will continue.
The Chief of the Russian General Staff stated that after the capture of Seversk, the Russian army is advancing at an accelerated pace toward Slovyansk.
In the Zaporozhzhia region, Russian troops broke through the Ukrainian Armed Forces' defenses and advanced 7 kilometers, the commander of the Vostok group reported to Putin.

Before Zelensky's trip to Washington, Donald Trump is using his tools of influence: NABU and SAP uncovered a criminal group that included members of the Verkhovna Rada.
An undercover operation was conducted for this purpose. According to investigators, the group's members systematically profited from voting in the Verkhovna Rada.
In fact, everyone in Ukraine already knew this: envelopes containing "fees" were distributed before important votes. Intermediaries in such cases were paid for their "help."
But what's interesting isn't this, but the sudden publication of this information during Zelensky's flight to the United States. It seems they won't beg Zelensky to make peace this time. They'll present him with a fait accompli. But what can Zelensky do? Nothing.
The Russian Ministry of Defense released a video of fighters from Kupyansk. According to the fighters themselves, their locations are on the right bank (the factory), 1st Maya Street (the right flank), and in the "city center"—without further details.
Company commander of the 1427th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 6th Army, call sign "Uran":
"I am in the city of Kupyansk on 1st Maya Street, where I am successfully operating with my unit. We stand firm, have stood firm, and will continue to stand firm in our positions in the city, continuing to eliminate small gangs, specifically enemy gangs ensconced in burrows."
Assault group commander of the 1486th Motorized Rifle Regiment, call sign "Colossus":
"My unit is successfully completing missions at the Kupyansk Dairy Plant. As you can see, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are not here, nor can they be."
Company commander, call sign "Granit":
"At this stage, I am in the city of Kupyansk, in the city center. My guys are successfully completing their missions. Victory will be ours. The enemy will be defeated."
Company commander of the 1843rd Motorized Rifle Regiment, call sign "Typhoon":
"We are in Kupyansk, clearing buildings and basements of scattered enemy groups."

Map of strikes on Ukraine tonight. Kiev will lie in ruins.
Читать полностью…
Last night, a combined strike by Geran-type UAVs, Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, and Iskander ballistic missile systems targeted targets in Kiev and its environs, as well as in the Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, and Sumy regions.
The video shows the nighttime strikes on Kiev; the final video shows the moment the city was plunged into a "blackout."
Furthermore, the morning wave of strikes has been underway for over an hour. In addition to Geran-type drones, targets in Ukraine are being attacked by Kalibr, X-101, and X-69 cruise missiles.

In the Tatra Mountains on the border of Poland and Slovakia, eyewitnesses have recorded a rare atmospheric phenomenon – a Brocken spectre, accompanied by a rainbow halo:
The observer's shadow appeared in the sky, projected onto the cloud layer and surrounded by a colored, glowing halo. Brocken spectres most often occur in high altitudes with high humidity and specific solar positions and are considered a rare, though well-studied, optical phenomenon.
Zelenskyy has declared his readiness to put the entire 20-point peace plan to a referendum. However, he still demands Russia's consent to a 60-day ceasefire, according to Axios.
It was previously reported that the referendum could include the question of Kyiv's territorial concessions.
An online conference featuring Zelenskyy, Trump, and European leaders is expected on Saturday.
🟩 RT in Russian
Why doesn't Zelenskyy simply put the question of Russia's capitulation to a referendum? The result will be the same. Damn clowns, they're staging this circus. 👹
Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov on Ukraine's future:
"I would very much like to see Ukraine become a country friendly to Russia. A country where the rights of Russians and Russian-speakers are undoubtedly restored, where the rights of the Russian Canonical Orthodox Church are guaranteed, where there is concern for people, and not just a totalitarian approach that absolutely does not tolerate any deviations from the elimination of anything that can be considered part of the common heritage—not even communist, but common heritage. I think Ukraine will achieve this. We just need to work to bring this moment closer."
Let Ukraine reach this point in 100 or 200 years, but only in the four or five westernmost regions that remain. If Russia intends to allow the Ukrainian state to exist, then it will only do so in those distant regions. Everything else should return to Russia, and then there will be no problems with the rights of Russians or the Russian Orthodox Church. And there will be no problems with the heritage either. If Ukraine remains in its current state, problems are inevitable.
"Senior US officials, such as Special Envoy Whitkoff and Jared Kushner, view Russia as an El Dorado for natural resource investment if sanctions are lifted."
The Wall Street Journal reports this, noting with alarm that proponents of a partnership with Russia claim that lifting sanctions against Russia will generate large profits for American companies in addition to stabilizing relations between Washington, Kiev, and Moscow.
The publication itself, citing some experienced investors, does not share the optimism regarding a US-Russia partnership.
Russia wants to exchange access to its natural resources for peace with the US. Of course, stabilizing relations between Washington, Kiev, and Moscow is important. A bad peace is better than a good war. But we must not forget that if you choose shame to avoid war, you will get both shame and war. I think, even am certain, that people in Russia remember this truth.
