⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️Germany is looking for new problems, and long-term ones, said State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin in his Telegram channel. "Today, the German government decided to shift the problems that their predecessors created onto our country. To this end, they plan to seize Russian assets to restore Ukraine. As soon as such a decision is made, we have the right to take similar actions with respect to the assets of Germany and other states," he emphasized. Volodin also added that the countries that recognized the independence of Kosovo "have no other choice but to agree with the right" of South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Crimea, the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, as well as the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions to self-determination. "This will initiate a process when all states will begin to ignore international law, take whatever they see fit at their own discretion," he concluded.

From Ukrainian TG channels:

🔺 The Ukrainian authorities prefer to distract the attention of Ukrainians with a strike on Makiivka, but do not inform about the losses in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The day before, more than 100 soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine died in Druzhkovka due to the deployment of the military in one building, despite the order of the Commander-in-Chief. There is no response from the authorities.

🔺 In Kyiv, they consider the scandalous decision to ban journalists access to the front and publication of information about the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to set the "necessary" trends.

🔺 British intelligence reports to Kyiv that the Kremlin has postponed strikes on the main energy facilities of Ukraine for the spring, and now the Russian Armed Forces will target Kyiv and small energy facilities in order to exhaust the air defense and completely bring down the energy system of Ukraine.

🔺 The Office of the President is actively working on "knocking out" Western tanks and other weapons in 2023. Kyiv is asking for modern air defense and missile defense systems, ammunition for them (Patriot, IRIS-T, NASAMS, Crotale systems, Vulcan and Gepard anti-aircraft guns, Stinger MANPADS), as well as tanks and artillery systems.

During the next few days, Washington will announce a new military aid package for the Kiev regime. The day before, Biden said that the USA was considering providing Ukraine with Bradley BMPs. 

France will also continue supplying weapons: Macron promised Zelensky a batch of AMX-10 RCs. This is a heavy armoured vehicle, often also classified as a wheeled tank. 

Also, Norway has handed Ukraine 10,000 155mm artillery shells from its own army's arsenal.

McCain predicted Putin's invasion of Ukraine and hinted at Moldova

"He wants eastern Ukraine, he wants to ensure he can hold Crimea and, if he can get away with it, Moldova and the Baltic states too," the late US Senator John McCain claimed.

Note: this post looks especially funny after the previous one, which clames:

"Spynu explained why the gas price increased to $1230 in January

Infrastructure Minister Andrei Spynu commented on the price of gas for the Republic of Moldova, as well as its supply and cooperation with Gazprom on the air of the programme Puncte de reflecție."

Not my meme but one of the best ones I’ve seen yet

The Ukrainian military who surrendered said that the command abandoned them in positions “like meat.” One of the prisoners called Zelensky a “puppet” and a “monkey”.

"Successful" attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - a fire in a construction trailer
On the evening of January 4, Ukrainian social networks and Telegram channels spread the news about a successful attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on a Russian military facility near Cape Fiolent in Sevastopol.

As it turned out in the end, the “overcome” turned out to be a fire in a construction trailer, and Ukrainian propaganda tried to pass off a gas cylinder explosion as the sound of a missile attack.

Special services already coped with the fire by midnight and reported that the fire area was 20 square meters.

"In the shortest possible time, the flame was localized and open burning was eliminated. The spread of fire was not allowed," the press release of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations for Sevastopol reads.

Oddly enough, by the end of 2022, Russia returned to the top ten strongest economies in the world.

Now the country is in 9th place, ahead of Italy, Brazil and South Korea. By the way, last year Russia ranked 11th.

Sanctions definitely work...

On the targeting of transport infrastructure in the Zaporizhzhya Region

After the withdrawal of Russian troops from the right bank of the Dnieper River in the Kherson region, the AFU command has concentrated on the Zaporozhye region.

Applying already proven tactics, Ukrainian formations are striking at the rear facilities of the Russian Armed Forces, breaking logistic chains and complicating the supply system of Russian groups of troops as much as possible.

In addition, sabotage and reconnaissance groups are employed to disable transport infrastructure - bridges and crossings.

Judging by the geography of the blasts and strikes, Ukrainian formations will attempt to cut off certain settlements and "chew off" small areas near Vasilievka and Polohi.

Fighting on the Bakhmutivka direction has somewhat slowed down the implementation of the AFU plans - some brigades have been redeployed under the former Artemovsk to hold back the Russian offensive.

But as early as this month, the AFU command expects to launch an active phase of the counter-offensive.

‼️🇷🇺The Su-34 frontline bomber patrols the sky with an X-31P anti-radar missile

The main task is to protect our aircraft from enemy air defense. After detecting enemy radar operation, the Su-34 fires a missile. It remembers the target and flies to its coordinates even if the Ukrainian fighters turn off their radar. The X-31P has high speed and high maneuvering capability.
