    ⚡️ Russia’s December oil and gas revenue set to drop to lowest level since 2020, Reuters reports. Russia’s oil and gas revenue in December is expected to be nearly half compared to the previous year, down to about 410 billion rubles ($5.17 billion), Reuters reported.

    “Ukraine sanctions nearly 700 vessels tied to Russia’s ‘shadow fleet’

    President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Dec. 13 that Ukraine’s sanctions against nearly 700 vessels linked to Russia’s shadow fleet had entered into force.

    Zelensky said the vessels account for a large share of Russia’s fleet used to transport oil and other energy resources, providing funding that helps sustain the war, and noted that they operate under the flags of more than 50 jurisdictions.”

      Oops 😳
      Imagine if it would be so terrible.
      Because Russia in Ukraine is not a war???
      Oh well. Then it will be the EU that has to whip Russia in war again.
      Poor Hungary.

    Putin’s dacha in Sochi has been flooded by UA 🤣🤣🤣

    The oil platforms have also been previously strongly rejected.

    War for real now 💥💥💥

      The one over there is fantastic.
      Fun to have meetings in shot-up buildings.
      Orcs like that.

      That’s actually their way of building cities. Shoot everything to ruins and raise the flag.

    Reading about how China overestimates the population size, and even if they don’t, the country is dimensioned for 500 million, which means that large groups live without what we would normally assume they have access to.

    So either China is lying about the number in the country or their standard of living 😀

      They also have an aging population so fewer will take care of more. One child will have to take care of two parents – not good for the nation’s economy. And parents who have pampered their only child – should they send that child into battle? Doubtful, so there will be a lot of bribes there if China starts a war.

      The downside is if there are a billion Chinese living outside the dimensioned society. Then they have soldiers in abundance and a great need for so-called living space 🙁

    I have said many times that the war was won but then the USA or an inactive Europe stopped it.

    operation badanka or azov push 2022 for example that the USA destroyed.

    as it looks now – all else being equal and with a growing Europe, the war is probably won but will continue for a while.

    “❗️Zelensky is trying to revise Trump’s peace plan rather than reject it outright, according to WSJ. As the publication writes, Ukraine’s president is working on revising the U.S.-proposed peace plan, attempting to make it acceptable for Kyiv without directly rejecting the document in order to avoid straining relations with Donald Trump. Over the past week, during negotiations with European leaders, Zelensky has effectively rewritten the plan, seeking to preserve space for dialogue with Washington while protecting Ukrainian interests.”

    “1) Updates graph of Russia tank losses by Type. T-80s and T-72 continue to oscillate between which is most common, but T-90 and T-54/55 stay remarkably stable at about 10% and 5% respectively.

    2) I dont know whats driving these changes, presumably unit rotation of units with different equipment will play a part, but if that is the main driver, it seems strange that the T-90 and now also the T-54/55 look so consistent.

    3) The ratio of Russia lost tanks to Russia lost IFVs is at almost record levels. Just 0.3 tanks on average for each IFV/APC Russia losses. interesting that just as recently as July we had a record in other other direction almost 0.7 Tanks for each IFV/APC. we have not seen similar oscillations before, so unclears whey its starting now.

      Ukraine may consider abstaining from NATO according to Zelensky.
      No major loss with Trump, Hegseth, and Rutte at the helm. Ukraine could join JEF instead. Bring Poland along too.

    “Kadyrov was asked whether he would take part in the 2026 elections in Chechnya: I will go to the elections if the presidents suggests it and the people support it. But if you ask me, I’m fed up with this power and serving people. I think that the new powers, new people would be more interesting.

    Kadyrov has been head of Chechnya since 2007. He is the longest serving leader in the Russian regions. Kadyrov’s latest re-election was in September 2021, he got 99,7% of votes with 94,42% attendance.”

    “Polish FM Sikorski slammed Hungary’s Orbán over his opposition to using frozen Russian assets, quipping “Viktor got his Lenin medal.” Hungary’s FM hit back: “We won’t be dragged into your war.” Sikorski responded: “There will be no war unless Russia invades again, but you’re on their side.””

    “Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians across the country are still without power following extensive Russian attacks on several regions in recent days, writes Volodymyr Zelensky on X. The President states that areas such as Mykolaiv, Odesa, Kherson, and Donetsk have been severely affected.

    This week, Russia has attacked Ukraine with over 1,500 drones and 900 gliding bombs, according to Zelensky.

    On Saturday, Ukrainian authorities reported that over a million households were without power due to the attacks.

    This morning, at least 14 people were injured, including a six-year-old child, when Russia attacked a store in Zaporizhzhia, Ukrainian media reports.”

    🇺🇦Lyman direction: At the moment, the situation on the eastern flank of Karpivka is gradually stabilizing! Previously, a gray zone was held there, where the enemy constantly infiltrated in small groups of two, trying to entrench themselves in basements and houses, in order to eventually develop this direction. 🇺🇦

    However, the plan did not work out. Our FPV drones worked perfectly, literally smoking out the enemy from the basement, without any chance of holding out. After this, in close combat, our assault rifle eliminated two fools who decided they could still show something – and that was the end of the episode for them.

    🇺🇦As of now, the right bank of the Nitrius River is not fully under our control, but the sectors of houses on the eastern flank of the settlement are under our control. The enemy has not been able to develop a full-fledged resistance there, and his movements are being detected and firmly suppressed. ☠️At the moment, it remains to clear the east and northeast – primarily the ravines, where individual pockets of resistance are still located. The direction is being held, and the initiative in the area is still with us. 🇺🇦Muchnoy Jugend | ”

    📰 “End of the Alliance?”: The Week dedicated its cover to Trump’s harsh rhetoric on Europe and the American president’s intention to get closer to Russia Recall that the White House recently released a new National Security Strategy, which sharply criticized Europe’s position on war in Ukraine.

    The document emphasizes that European officials allegedly have unrealistic expectations for the war, being in unstable minority governments, and trample on the basic principles of democracy to suppress the opposition.

    In addition, the US warns of the possible “civilizational destruction” of Europe within 20 years due to migration policy, censorship of freedom of speech, a sharp decline in the birth rate and the loss of national identity. In contrast, criticism of Russia in the document is practically absent.”

    “Ukrainian welterweight Yaroslav Amosov wins UFC debut against Neil Magny with chokehold. At the end of the fight, Amosov shouted “Ukraine!” and said “Усе що нас не вбиває ми не купуємо” – a dark, ironic twist on the famous saying “What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.””
