According to the governor in Belgorod, Ukrainian drones have attacked the infrastructure. Regarding the attacks in Moscow and Rostov, it is still unclear what results they have yielded. In Moscow, they claim to have shot down 18 drones and there are no reports of any damages. However, from Rostov, there is at least one image showing that it is burning.

“Ukrainian immigrant, Holocaust survivor killed in mass shooting in Australia
Alexander Kleytman, a Holocaust survivor and Ukrainian immigrant to Australia, was among the victims killed in a terrorist attack in eastern Sydney on Dec. 14.
The attack, which targeted the Jewish community, killed at least 16 people and injured over 40 others.
The shooting took place at Bondi Beach as hundreds gathered to celebrate the first day of Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of light. Released footage purported to show two gunmen firing from a pedestrian bridge.”
“Overnight, the Astrakhan gas processing plant in Russia was reportedly struck, triggering a large fire. Russian Defence Ministry claims it shot down 38 drones over Astrakhan Oblast during the same period. FIRMS data confirms a large fire is ongoing.”

“Overnight, Russia launched 153 UAVs (Shahed, Herber and others) from multiple directions. Ukraine’s air defenses shot down or suppressed 133 of them across the north, south and east. 17 UAVs struck 10 locations. The attack is ongoing with several drones still in the air.”

In addition, 72% of Ukrainians are ready to approve a peace plan that would include freezing the situation along the current front line along with security guarantees for Ukraine (and without official recognition of the occupied territories as part of Russia).”

Off-Topic, the attack in Australia
“The terrorist attack against a Jewish celebration in Sydney is highlighted in Swedish editorial pages. A concerted effort is needed against antisemitism in Australia and the rest of the Western world, including in Sweden, according to DN’s editorial.
“Jews should never be collectively blamed for the suffering caused by the state of Israel in Gaza and the West Bank. But critics of the Israeli government should not be blamed for the acts of violence by extremists either.”
The attack can only be understood in one way – as antisemitism in its purest form, writes Christer Sfeir in an editorial in SvD.
“It is not a ‘reaction’ to the Middle East and not a contribution to any geopolitical debate. It is an attack on people because they are Jews. Everything else is a smokescreen.”

Even more Off-Topic
All criticism can now be labeled as lies and referred to as “Fake media”.
”Grok has lost it. Again.” That’s what Gizmodo writes after Elon Musk’s chatbot spread incorrect information about the weekend’s fatal shooting at a Jewish event at Bondi Beach in Australia.
One person who has been praised is the fruit vendor Ahmed al Ahmed, who can be seen in video clips overpowering one of the perpetrators. According to the site, Grok has claimed that the video is fake and that a picture of the injured al Ahmed actually depicts a Hamas hostage from the attack on October 7.
The chatbot is also said to have confused the shooting with other, completely unrelated events and in some cases responded with information that had no connection to the users’ questions.
What caused the problems is unclear. The company X AI has not provided any concrete answers, but has only called the reports “media lies,” writes Gizmodo.”
https://omni.se/grok-sprider-desinformation-om-sydneydadet/a/JO1824
It happened to me just yesterday that Grok mixed up events.
Post, @StatWatch25: “At this moment, Ukrainian forces are attacking Russian military facilities located in Zaporizhzhia Oblast with rockets.”
@pragmateutakes: “@grok it’s true?”
@Grok: “Based on latest reports from ISW, Liveuamap, Wikipedia, and news outlets like Al Jazeera and NYT as of Dec 13, 2025: Russian forces control Melitopol since 2022, with recent advances near Huliaipole (Zaporizhzhia). Strikes hit Dnipro, but no major ground offensives from Kremenchuk/Kropyvnytskyi as shown. The map appears speculative or not reflective of confirmed front lines.”
I: “But @grok the post does not say it is a ground offensive.”
Grok: “You’re correct; recent reports from sources like Reuters, Al Jazeera, and The Guardian describe the killing of Hamas commander Raed Saed as a targeted air strike on a car in Gaza City, not a ground offensive. It occurred on December 13, 2025, amid ongoing tensions.”
I saw someone asking about the attack in Australia and on a follow-up question Grok answered about the shooting in Örebro, Grok seems a bit confused at the moment.
Grok lied about something in Ukraine
According to Russia, they have shot down 130, so it should be taken with a grain of salt. No damage? Sounds a bit strange, even if they had shot down all drones, it should still have caused less damage.
“Russia has shot down 130 Ukrainian drones during the night to Monday, several media outlets report, referring to Moscow’s mayor Sergei Sobyanin.
According to Sobyanin, 18 of the drones were heading towards the Russian capital, as reported by Kyiv Independent.
Reuters writes that several Russian airports were forced to close during the drone attack, including two airports in the Moscow area. There are no reports of destroyed buildings or injured people.”
Is the lid now closed on UA attacks inside Russia?
Slight increase in Russian attack activity, and hardly any changes along the front compared to yesterday’s morning report from AFU🇺🇦.

Off-Topic, Czech Republic
“The new government of the Czech Republic under Prime Minister Andrej Babis has been approved by President Petr Pavel, reports Reuters.
The 71-year-old billionaire and his party ANO became the largest in the election earlier in October, albeit narrowly, with 28 percent of the votes. The coalition he has now assembled includes the right-wing populist, EU-critical, and Russia-friendly party SPD as well as the right-wing party Motoristé sobe.
During the swearing-in ceremony, President Pavel urged the government to govern responsibly and to consider the benefits that NATO and the EU have for the Czech Republic.
– Our country would undoubtedly be more insecure if we were not members of NATO, just as it would be less economically prosperous and stable if we were not members of the European Union, says Pavel.”

So – we can’t even shoot down drones over our military bases.
72% in Ukraine agree to freeze the war at the frontlines, without recognising occupied territory as Russian. 75% disagree with ceding all Donbas. Only 1 in 3 thinks elections during war acceptable. Zelenskyy’s trust rating remains at 61% And trust in the US halved in 2025

They are a separate tribe
“USA stands firm on the decision that Ukraine must hand over control of the entire Donbas to Russia to reach a peace agreement. This is stated by a source who has been informed about the ongoing negotiations in Berlin, reports AFP.
The source states that “Putin wants territory” and that the USA demands that Ukraine withdraw from Donbas – something that Kyiv is not willing to do.
“It is somewhat remarkable that the Americans are taking the Russian side in this issue,” says the source.
On Monday, negotiations continue in Berlin and several European leaders are expected to join. Few details are known about what was discussed yesterday, but US envoy Steve Witkoff said that “significant progress” had been made.”
The traders in the USA
All land the Russians get is unjust and unfair. That they should get more land than they have occupied themselves, it’s such a fucking hole in the head that I don’t know what.
Ukraine is probably under strong pressure now, and Europe. We are ending up between a rock and a hard place, with the USA standing on Russia’s side. The USA wants to reward Russia for their violation of Ukraine. Why then? one might ask.
Is it just about business? Yes, maybe fundamentally, but actually it’s probably about Trump and Putin joining forces to try to dismantle the rules-based world order. They believe Russia should get parts of Ukraine, if successful, then it’s open season for Russia to take more, and for Trump, to take e.g. Panama, Greenland, etc., because there is no one to oppose them. The UN is obsolete.
Europe, a united Europe is the only one with the power to put a stop to this, and it must start with Russia, which is already weakened, it can also give Trump food for thought if we show that we actually have the power to back up our words. If there is no revolution in the USA, there is a risk that they will start actively helping Russia achieve its goals, even though it now sounds unlikely.
On Thursday, the plan is for the EU countries to agree on support for Ukraine with frozen Russian assets. Minister for Foreign Affairs Maria Malmer Stenergard (M) calls it a “fateful week for Europe,” writes TT.
“I am irritated that there are so many countries that continue to complicate things,” she said on her way to a meeting with her colleagues in Brussels on Monday.
Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic have already said no to using the frozen assets. Belgium has been skeptical and is supported by Italy, Bulgaria, and Malta, who want to seek alternatives, something that Malmer Stenergard does not believe is a possible path.
The most important months of the war 🧐
Engaging in war against Ukraine is completely OK, but when they shut down a gaming platform, enough is enough! Still good that the Russian authorities manage to upset some.
“Dozens of people protested on Sunday in the Siberian city of Tomsk against Russia’s ban on the gaming platform Roblox, Reuters reports.
Roblox was blocked earlier in December by the Russian communications authority Roskomnadzor, which claims that the platform contains material that could harm children’s “spiritual and moral development.”
According to Reuters, the ban has sparked a broader debate on censorship and children’s online safety. At the same time, questions are raised about the effectiveness of the blocking since many Russians use VPN services to bypass the restrictions.”

On Monday, several European leaders are gathering for peace talks in Berlin, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US envoy Steve Witkoff and their delegations.
Germany and Ukraine are to develop an agreement aimed at strengthening the military cooperation between the countries, reports Reuters.
The current memorandum of understanding consists of ten points and has a strong focus on the Ukrainian defense industry. The countries are expected to collaborate on military research and hold regular high-level meetings. Kyiv will share data on how German technology performs on the battlefield, according to Bloomberg.
“A strong Ukrainian defense industry is crucial for defense against Russia’s aggressive warfare and is an important part of the security guarantees to deter future Russian aggression,” the document states, published in connection with Volodymyr Zelensky’s trip to Berlin.

Britain is facing a “new era of uncertainty” where “the front line is everywhere.” This is expected to be stated by the new head of the British intelligence service, formerly known as MI6, in a speech later on Monday.
“Several media outlets have been given access to Blaise Metrewelis’ speech in advance. This is her first speech since taking office this year.
In the speech, Metreweli is expected to address Russia as an acute threat and warn that Britain could be exposed to cyber attacks and new assassination plots, similar to the assassination attempt on Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury in 2018.
“Exporting chaos is an intentional part of Russia’s way of acting internationally – it is not a mistake,” the prepared speech states.”
The Kremlin directs sharp criticism at the EU after the union’s leaders decided to freeze Russia’s assets at Euroclear indefinitely, reports Reuters.
– What rational investor will keep their securities in Euroclear, euro, or the EU, when they realize that their ownership rights are not respected? asks Vladimir Putin’s special envoy Kirill Dmitriev the news agency.
Russia has previously warned the EU that the freeze constitutes theft and undermines trust in the euro. The Kremlin has promised retaliatory measures, for example by seizing European private investors’ assets in Russia.

“😳🔥 SBU hit Russian submarine in Novorossiysk Drones “Sub Sea Baby” blew up a Russian submarine of the class 636.3 “Varshavyanka”.

“First Combat Use of Underwater Kamikaze Drones: Russian Kilo class Submarine Disabled in Novorossiysk The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has carried out a special operation in the port of Novorossiysk, marking the first-ever combat use of underwater kamikaze drones.
During the operation, SBU-operated Sub Sea Baby underwater drones struck a Russian Navy Project 636.3 submarine (Varshavyanka class; NATO designation: Kilo). The explosion caused critical damage, effectively disabling the vessel.
The submarine was equipped with four Kalibr cruise missile launchers used by Russia for strikes against Ukrainian territory. The operation was conducted jointly by the SBU’s 13th Main Directorate of Military Counterintelligence and the Ukrainian Navy.
A Varshavyanka-class submarine is estimated to cost around USD 400 million. Due to international sanctions, building a comparable submarine today could cost up to USD 500 million. This class is also known as the “Black Hole” because of its low acoustic signature and reduced sonar visibility.
The submarine had been stationed in Novorossiysk after earlier Sea Baby surface-drone operations forced Russian naval assets to leave Sevastopol Bay in temporarily occupied Crimea.”

If Russia does not plan to attack Ukraine again, then Article 5 should be completely irrelevant to Russia.
The fact that Article 5 is perceived as a threat says more about Russia’s future plans than about NATO.
This is not the gray zone of geopolitics.
It is pure logic.

All the fuss about NATO expansion is just about making it harder for Russia to rape its neighbors.
Furthermore, they ignore the fact that NATO expansion is a direct consequence of their own behavior.

“Donald Trump connects the murder of director and actor Rob Reiner and his wife with Reiner’s criticism of Donald Trump.
Trump writes that the double murder was indeed very sad, but claims without evidence that it was motivated by Reiner suffering from an “incurable and paralyzing disease” that the American president calls “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
“He was known to drive people to madness through his raging obsession with President Donald J. Trump, where his apparent paranoia reached new heights as the Trump administration exceeded all goals and expectations of greatness, and as America’s golden age has reached us,” Trump writes.
Reiner was certainly a vocal critic of Trump, but there is currently no evidence to support that the double murder was motivated by it.”

It rather feels like Trump Derangement Syndrome is what Trump himself is suffering from.
Would a mentally healthy person write a post like this about someone who has been murdered?
From Truth social:
Just when you thought Trump couldn’t surprise you any longer.
This is a whole new level of idiocy, which you couldn’t believe could occur outside the padded room.
How twisted must one be to try to take credit for a double murder? That’s basically what he’s trying to do.. He’s trying to turn these murders into something that happens if you criticize Trump. Incitement to murder from the highest level.
They should check who the couple’s son had contact with before the murder, which they probably are doing. It wouldn’t surprise me if he had been eagerly encouraged by someone close to the president.
Have you read about him talking to Jesus and being chosen?
Sounds like Trump has a different yardstick in this case compared to the murder of Charlie Kirk.
