Brazil’s newly-elected president ready to reset relations with Russia – 🇷🇺FC speaker

Brazil’s newly-elected president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has confirmed his readiness to reset Russian-Brazilian relations in terms of increasing cooperation in various fields and supported the idea of launching a high-level bilateral commission, which has not met in session for several years, the speaker of Russia’s Federation Council, Valentina Matviyenko, said on Sunday.

"It is very important that during the meeting the newly elected president confirmed his readiness and interest to reset Russian-Brazilian relations in terms of increasing trading and economic cooperation in science, engineering, and the environmental and other fields. He supported the idea of promptly launching a high-level commission, which, unfortunately, has not met in session for several years for a number of reasons, including subjective ones," said Matviyenko, the head of Russia’s delegation at the inauguration of the Brazilian head of state, after a meeting with the president.

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin chairs the commission for Russia. His Brazilian counterpart in this capacity is the vice president.

"The president promised to formalize the appointment of a co-chair as soon as possible and agreed that the commission should gather for a meeting as soon as possible," Matviyenko stressed.

She said that Lula da Silva had also welcomed the idea of activating the Russia-Brazil Business Council, "which works very effectively with businesses in both Russia and Brazil, and establishes contacts and links."

"I should say that trading and economic relations between our countries are developing very dynamically. This year we hope to reach a level of about $9 billion," she said.

Ukrainian channels report that Nazi Oleg Yurchenko has been killed in Artemovsk 

This is the organiser of the Ukrainian "military-patriotic" game "Falcons-Jura". It is such an educational tool to inculcate hatred of Russians in children from a young age.

In the game, children of different groups were told why Ukraine is not Russia, why Ukraine and the Ukrainian culture are better than Russia, who are the heroes for Ukraine, and why Russia is the enemy. Naturally, nationalists like Bandera, sukhevich were presented as heroes.

Ukrainian Army on "liberation" of Velykyi Potomkinskyi : "just a propaganda "

Ukrainian military installed the state flag on Velykyi Potomkinskyi Island near the Dnipro River’s delta in Kherson Oblast, but “it is too early to talk about liberation,” the Southern Operational Command spokeswoman Nataliia Humeniuk said on Jan. 3.

The statement came following media reports that Ukraine recaptured the island.

“Establishing the flag signals to the enemy that we are working, that the land is ours, that this is all Ukraine. And it is also a reminder to them of the irreversibility of the processes we have planned. But it is too early to talk about liberation,” Humeniuk said on television.
According to her, politicians’ statements about the liberation of certain territories “can have a very significant impact on the further development of military operations.”

Earlier on Jan. 2, online newspaper Ukrainska Pravda and lawmaker Oleksiy Honcharenko reported that Ukraine’s Armed Forces had liberated the Velykyi Potomkinskyi Island.

The island is located between the west and east banks of the Dnipro River near the city of Kherson.

He calls for strikes on oil refineries in Belarus using US HIMARS systems.

Seleznev speaks of some kind of agreement (Ukraine-US) not to use HIMARS to strike on the territory of the Russian Federation and specifies that there is no such agreement about the territory of Belarus.

The tweet of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, dedicated to the birthday of Stepan Bandera, was deleted after a conversation between the prime ministers of Ukraine and Poland

False hypocrites, both historical prostitutes

The news that I announced was confirmed.

The Kremennaya-Svatovo Front - withstood the fierce onslaught of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, starting from 26.12, the battles and artillery duels did not stop, the attacks came in waves, it was a week of hell for both sides, but we resisted.

The tactics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with massive pressure, attempts to hit the flank - failed, or rather stumbled about our artillery.

Glory to the living, eternal memory to the fallen!

Russian troops are keeping several types of nuclear weapons carriers in Crimea, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate has said. 

"Military intelligence sees that carriers of land-, air-, and sea-based nuclear warheads are currently deployed on the territory of Crimea." "We are talking about ships, submarines, aircraft, and land-based complexes that can strike with nuclear munitions," Andriy Chernyak, a representative of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate, told Ukrinform.

According to him, the Russians were carrying out certain works at the Feodosiya-13 site in the village of Krasnokamenka to prepare it for storing nuclear munitions. However, it is not known now whether these works have been completed.

Russia is preparing a new wave of offensive against Ukraine with the help of the mobilized servicemen —ex-commander of the Nazi regiment, "Azov" Zhorin:


"I am sure that another offensive will take place." And this will be at the expense of those units that have now been assembled from mobilized people. They will try to expand the front line by choosing one of the directions for attack. "Either the Kharkiv region, or the Kyiv region, or even the western regions of Ukraine."

❗️❗️❗️❗️A record about Bandera's birthday disappeared from the account of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine

Earlier, the deputies published a post on Twitter about the 114th anniversary of the birth of Bandera, attaching to it a photo of the head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Zaluzhny against the background of a portrait of the leader of Ukrainian nationalists.

The recording caused indignation among the Polish authorities - Prime Minister Morawiecki contacted his Ukrainian colleague Shmygal on this subject, after which the provocative information disappeared.

A Soviet-era arms factory in Romania will be reconstructed and expanded to produce large-calibre artillery shells for Ukraine, both 155 mm shells compatible with NATO standard weapons and 152 mm shells compatible with Soviet-era weapons.

The refurbishment and expansion of the plant, the location of which was not disclosed, will be partly financed by the German government.

"The parallel production of these two types of ammunition is a lifesaver for the Ukrainian army, which has used up most of its stocks of 152mm shells and is struggling to replenish them as the shells are produced in Russia and Serbia," Romanian media noted.

UAV development is recognised as a national priority; how will the development strategy help the industry?

On December 31, Putin instructed the government to approve a strategy for the development of unmanned aerial vehicles until 2030. During the special military operation, everyone talked about the deficit of UAVs in the armed forces and the industry's critical dependence on imports. And now the problem has been recognised at the highest level. 

In fact, we are talking about a new national project. The strategy will not only set targets for drone production volumes, the degree of localization, and so on, but also provide guaranteed demand for UAVs from domestic manufacturers and help educate and train personnel for the industry. 

Although the document itself will not be ready until February 15, the industry greeted the news with enthusiasm. Those efforts and investments in providing the army and the country with their own (Russian-made) drones will be repaid a hundredfold now, as those who are already producing something will be able to get the biggest bite out of the government order. 

For instance, the Magnitogorsk-based company Android Technics launched pilot production of electric motors for UAVs at the end of December. And in the first or second quarter of 2023, it is planned to start serial production of a whole line of 18 standard sizes. The company has already received "confirmation of Russian origin" from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, so it will be able to participate in the state order on a priority basis.
At the same time, one of Skolkovo's residents, the company "Shooting from the Air," began supplying small reconnaissance drones called "Binocular" to the special military operation zone, 80% of which consist of Russian components. At the same time, the long-suffering "BAS-200" unmanned helicopter project was the first UAV to receive a Rosaviatsiya certificate (albeit a limited one that does not allow it to deliver cargo commercially).

The Russians take a long time to harness, but they go fast. Although it took us years to realise the need to develop unmanned aerial vehicles in the country, the military operation in Ukraine has given unprecedented impetus to the development of the industry. We hope that state support will help to catch up with the market leaders in a timely manner...
