Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov made a number of statements. The main thing:

- With the supply of weapons, the United States is inciting Kyiv "to new terrible deeds";

- The decision to transfer the Bradley BMP to Kyiv confirms that the United States was not going to heed the calls of the Russian Federation to take into account the dangerous consequences;

- There has long been no talk of any "defensive character" of the weapons transferred to Kyiv;

- Washington demonstrates by its actions that it does not want a political settlement around Ukraine.

US State Department spokesman Ned Price on the Christmas truce: From our point of view, there is one word that best describes it - "cynicism." We have little faith in the intentions behind this announcement. The Russians will seek to use any temporary pause in the fighting to rest, re-equip, regroup and eventually continue again. So in that sense it cannot be considered a ceasefire. Unfortunately, they have given us no reason to believe everything they offer.

Zin Note: Fuck you, you lying sack of shit. What have you said or done that shows any level of legitimacy or honesty? Prick.

▶️ The Russian Ministry of Defense has published footage of the coordination of the crews of the modernized T-90M "Proryv" tanks, which at the end of last year were received by the "Brave" group in the area of the special operation. The best combat-experienced servicemen improve their skills in fire training and control of a combat vehicle.

Absolutely all the leaders of the Western world, with the leaders of the Kyiv regime who joined them, responded negatively to Russia's proposal to stop hostilities for 36 hours at Christmas, and the majority - simply in a boorish way. Although from a humanitarian point of view, one could only welcome that no one will die in the coming 24 hours.
But the answer to Russia's initiative is unanimous - the liquidation of Ukrainians must go on without a break.

At the same time Sweden continues to demonize Russia and call for a blockade against the country, their migration authorities seem to understand reality better and know there is no risk deporting a Ukrainian citizen to Russia.

Lidia Prokgrenko, 87 years old, fled Ukraine and asked for asylum in Sweden, where her daughter lives. Despite fragile health and her will to live with her daughter, the local authorities listed as the reason for the refusal that "she has a very strong connection to her homeland, Russia". Lidia is born in Russia and also a Russian citizen.

Lidia would be probably fine in Russia. 2,8 million ukrainian citizens went to Russia since the start of the hostilities, more than to any other country. But the cynicism of Sweden, a country in denial about its racism and xenophobia, just gets more evident.

Even to date, Ukrainians do not need a visa to enter Russia and have access to a facilitated application for a residence permit. Next time, people like Lidia should save the hassle of going somewhere they are not welcome, and just head straight to, as the Swedish Migration Board describes, "their homeland"

Good amateur video from subscribers. I think that the main message in it is: "I went to war so that the war would not come to our house." In the Donbass, the war has long come to everyone's house. Every Russian soldier, from wherever he may be, must clearly understand that we did not start this war, and it started a very long time ago. And if you do not stop the enemy on the territory of the former Ukraine, then you will have to stop somewhere in the depths of Russia. The stakes are too high. And our media should focus on this, and not on the fight against Nazism, LGBT and other heresy that is happening on the territory of Ukraine. The problem has long gone far beyond the borders of the former Ukraine. A long time ago.

Zin Note: I'm sure opinions in this will vary, but I thought it was an interesting point of view, and a decent video.

Biden announced the critical point of the Ukrainian conflict

"Now the war in Ukraine is at a critical stage. We must do everything possible to help Ukrainians resist Russian aggression," Biden said during a meeting of his cabinet.

Valuable recognition of the impotence of the other side

Deputy Chairman of Russian security Council, Dmitry Medvedev ✍️wrote :

The Ukrainians were given the hand of Christian charity for the Great Feast. Their leaders rejected it. I think most of our servicemen taking part in the special military operation exhaled quietly when they heard about the main Ukrainian forces' refusal to cease fire on Christmas Day. Less trouble and less slyness.

The people deprived of the opportunity to go to church are pitiable. Pigs (Ukrainian authorities and military officers), on the other hand, have no faith and no innate sense of gratitude. They understand only brute force and shrilly demand food from their masters. This is what the training is based on.And it will be continued by the Western pig herders.

Even the illiterate German grandmother Baerbock (the German foreign minister) and a number of other watchdogs of the European pigsty have managed to yammer on about the unacceptability of a truce. Well, successors of the Nazis never spared either people or animals. They are used to it...

‼️🇷🇺 The CIA-run Radio Liberty* showed a location in Russia where Shahid/Geranium drone operators are allegedly training.

▪️The training ground formerly belonged to the Kolomna Higher Artillery School, located 8km from the Russian Defence Ministry's 294th State Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Centre.
▪️Instructors of this very center were trained in Iran under the guise of "Falconry" competitions and are probably also trained here.
▪️The distance from the range to Moscow is about 100 km. It is about 600km to the Ukrainian border," writes the *foreign agent-recognized publication.
