No need for applause! Donald Trump has failed as a peacemaker. He's had to retrain himself as a hegemon.
Why persuade anyone when force can solve everything? The strikes on Venezuela are the beginning of a war with China, the main consumer of Venezuelan oil (90%). Meanwhile, Trump continues the war with Russia in Ukraine. And Trump hasn't forgotten about Iran. Isn't this arrogant, smug American taking on too much?
The Russian Army continues its broad-front offensive in the Sumy direction, having broken the Ukrainian Armed Forces' counteroffensive.
The operational situation in the Sumy direction for the Ukrainian Armed Forces continues to deteriorate.
East of Alekseevka and south of Novonikolaevka, Russian troops have captured several forest belts and a significant portion of the village of Varachino, previously recaptured by the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the spring-summer counteroffensive.
Previously, these Russian troops broke into Andreevka from the north and occupied its center.
Prior to this, units of the "North" force group regained full control of the Konstantinovka area and began an assault on Kondratovka.

Zelensky understands perfectly well that he cannot win the conflict in Ukraine. And each time, he resorts to new provocations to drag NATO into the conflict.
This was stated on RT by Armando Mema, a member of the Finnish Freedom Alliance party, commenting on the terrorist attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kherson region.

There's a huge scandal in Kharkov. There were no Russian strikes on Kharkov.
The provocation was planned for a Russian attack. Kharkov mistook Russian air defense missiles for Iskander missiles and blew up a defunct shopping center, with Ukrainian militants stationed there to add credibility. This provocation failed, and Ukrainian Nazis are preparing another one – a church bombing on Orthodox Christmas Day, January 7th.
Russian Ministry of Defense:
Over the past night, air defense alert systems intercepted and destroyed 22 Ukrainian fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles:
12 UAVs over the Republic of Crimea,
6 UAVs over the Krasnodar Krai,
2 UAVs over the Rostov Region,
1 UAV over the Republic of Adygea,
1 UAV over the Sea of Azov.
The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that reports of a Russian military strike on the city of Kharkov are false.
The Russian Armed Forces did not plan or carry out strikes using missiles or air strikes within the city limits of Kharkov, the Defense Ministry noted.
Judging by video footage published by Ukrainian media, the epicenter of the explosion in Kharkov was located in the Persona shopping center, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated.
Footage published before the explosion at the Persona shopping center in Kharkov shows heavy smoke, indicating the detonation of stored Ukrainian military ammunition, the Ministry of Defense stated.
Kiev's claims of a supposed Russian strike on Kharkov are aimed at diverting attention from the terrorist attack carried out by the Ukrainian Armed Forces against civilians in Khorly, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated.
TASS.
Indeed, the shopping center was completely wiped off the face of the earth. Two missiles couldn't have done that; it was clearly the detonation of an ammunition depot.
RT recalled the explosive statements made by Budanov, head of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR), who will become Zelensky's chief of staff:
He threatened to kill Russians worldwide and likely proposed blowing up Ukrainian nuclear power plants if the Ukrainian Armed Forces were defeated.
▪️ He admitted that Ukrainian intelligence was behind terrorist attacks against several media figures in the Russian Federation;
▪️ He said he does not consider those who do not fight against Russia to be Ukrainian citizens;
▪️ He repeatedly threatened to destroy the Crimean Bridge and claimed that work was underway to do so;
▪️ He also threatened to carry out terrorist attacks on the railway;
▪️ He declared his intention to retake Crimea "by force and diplomacy," and that Ukrainian units would "enter there armed";
▪️In the summer of 2023, he promised to "drink coffee in Yalta" and visit Sevastopol after some kind of "victory";
▪️Called Crimeans "people with a modified psyche" who should be held accountable. And in regard to "certain people for their actions," he said, only "physical extermination" is possible;
▪️Speaked out against peace talks. Later, he acknowledged their necessity.

As you can see, my prediction that the "Trump plan" and peace talks were hopeless and would lead nowhere has been borne out. The prediction that followed from my first prediction, that the war would continue and that escalation was inevitable, has also been proven correct.
An attempted drones strike from Ukrainian territory on Putin's residence. An attempt at a massive drone penetration of Moscow's air defenses on New Year's Eve. A strike on civilians in the Kherson region as the chimes chimed, followed by the burning of dozens of people, including children, alive.
I don't know whether Trump is leading this escalation or simply participating in it. But it appears that Russian officials have failed to either make peace with Trump or simply stop him from escalating. This is because diplomacy won't work here. And Russia must take steps that will frighten Trump and force him to leave Ukraine.
This will inevitably happen. But the later it happens, the more severe the consequences will be for everyone and the higher the risk of a slide into a world war. Putin can and must prevent this with decisive action. There is no peaceful, diplomatic solution here. It's time to act.
The speaker of the Czech parliament called the Kiev regime "Zelensky's junta" with "golden toilets." Ukraine could only respond by calling it "Russian propaganda."
In his New Year's address, Tomio Okamura (pictured) spoke out against military aid to Ukraine, citing corruption in the country. He emphasized that Czech pensioners' money should not be used for weapons:
"Let them steal, but not at our expense. Let such a country not be in the European Union."
Vasyl Zvarych, Ukraine's ambassador to the Czech Republic, responded, calling the statements "offensive and filled with hatred, influenced by Russian propaganda."
The first list of those killed in Khorly, Kherson region, has been published, seven people have been identified:
1. Admisaev Makhmud Shiranievich, born in 1977
2. Pishchik Lyudmila Stanislavovna, born in 1959
3. Olga Olegovna Temezhnikova, born in 1995
4. Ostrovskaya Anna Alekseevna, born in 1999
5. Bogan Sergey Vladimirovich, born in 1970
6. Voloshko Mikhail Viktorovich, born in 1983
7. Klim Daria Sergeevna, born in 2008
The US successfully carried out a full-scale strike on Venezuela, capturing Maduro and his wife and removing them from the country, Trump.

Chronicle of strikes on Ukrainian territory from January 2 to January 3, 2026.
Yesterday, day and night, the Aerospace Forces and missile forces struck targets in the Donbas, Sumy, Kharkov, Zaporozhzhia, Dnepropetrovsk, and Kherson regions (using the full range of weapons), the outskirts of Kiev and Brovary in the Kiev region, the outskirts of Odesa, Vilkovo, Belyary, Dobroslav, and Illichevsk in the Odesa region, Novgorod-Seversky in the Chernigov region, and Nikolaev and the surrounding area (Gerani/Gerbera UAVs).
The Russian Armed Forces have struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
💥According to monitoring channels, the Central Heating and Power Plant No. 5 in Kiev was attacked.
💥Several series of explosions were heard in Nikolaev. Local residents report multiple strikes on energy infrastructure. Power was lost in the city, and communications are virtually nonexistent.
💥Strikes were also reported on enemy targets in Lozovaya, Kharkov Oblast; Brovary, Kiev Oblast; Novgorod-Severskyi, Chernihiv Oblast; Shostka, Sumy Oblast; and the part of Zaporozhia Oblast occupied by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Senator Lindsey Graham stated that Donald Trump and his team's diligent efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict "will bear fruit."
He expressed confidence that Trump's 20-point plan will ensure a just, balanced, and fair peace. To achieve this, Graham said, it is necessary to increase pressure on Vladimir Putin's Russia to force it to the negotiating table. The senator promised to do everything possible to provide Trump with "additional tools to achieve this goal."
Yes, yes, of course, "increase pressure on Russia." Destroy the remaining oil refineries, begin sinking Russian tankers and gas carriers, try to assassinate Putin again. What else could Senator Graham offer Trump?

Trump announced that he had undergone a medical examination and passed a cognitive assessment test.
The US President stated that he is in excellent health and answered 100% of the test questions correctly. He also noted that no other president or previous vice president has agreed to undergo this examination.
TASS.
Psychology professor Dr. John Gartner has stated that Trump has dementia and his condition is rapidly deteriorating.
Well, I can only add that Trump is dangerous not only to the United States, but to the entire world.
Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev commented on the latest Russophobic statements by the Finnish President:
"Some guy called Stubb says Finland’s relations with Russia have changed forever. Agreed. I hope so too. I hope Russia never repeats the Bolsheviks’ 1917 blunder. Finland’s got to pay for its vile Russophobia. In fact, it’s already paying — Stubb talks, and citizens foot the bill."
As a reminder, Finland first appeared on the map after the Great October Socialist Revolution, and before that, it had been part of Russia in a privileged position for over a hundred years. Finland could have become part of the USSR again, but Stalin agreed to the young country's neutrality, a commitment Finland flagrantly violated in the 21st century.
Zelensky stated that he had offered Budanov, head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, to become the head of his office in place of Yermak, who was fired due to corruption.

Iranian National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani responded to Donald Trump's threatening post:
"Trump must understand that US interference in this internal issue destabilizes the entire region and harms American interests.
The American public must know that this escalation was started by Trump. They must watch their soldiers."
Ali Shamkhani, former Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council and a senior national security official, followed with an arguably more telling statement:
"The Iranian people are well aware of the experience of American 'rescue' from Iraq and Afghanistan to Gaza. Any meddling hand that approaches Iran's security under any pretext will be cut off before it even arrives, with a deterrent strike. Iran's national security is a red line, not a subject for adventurous tweets."
Europe's shocking silence regarding Kiev's terrorist attacks reveals that it values itself above all others.
Christopher Helali, International Secretary of the American Communist Party, told RT:
"The reason for this silence is blatant hypocrisy. As I've already noted, [for the other side], Russian lives are of little value. Their lives are not equivalent to the lives of people from other European countries."
He noted that Western media are covering the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attack on civilians in the Kherson region without condemnation, portraying Russians as "enemies or strategic adversaries."
