The United States is trying to get Russia to negotiate a settlement in Ukraine by giving up its new regions, State Department spokesman Ned Price said.

“We have taken note of the Kremlin’s statement that it is ready to engage in dialogue, but only if new territorial realities are recognized. This is a clear sign that Moscow does not have a genuine appetite to engage in dialogue and diplomacy, which will lead to to a just and lasting peace. We ultimately hope to change those calculations, we strive to change those calculations by continuing to provide Ukraine with the necessary military assistance," the US Foreign Office spokesman said.

🇩🇪🇺🇦 Only 25% of respondents in Germany consider it necessary to continue supplying weapons to Ukraine

⛔️ The rest of the citizens consider the support provided sufficient, or even oppose further assistance.

🛠 Work of the Western Military District's repair units in the rear area of the SMO zone

The repair units do not stop working for a second. The main task is to restore and return the equipment to combat ranks as quickly as possible. Restoration of combat readiness of wheeled and tracked vehicles, barrel and rocket artillery systems is the key to the forthcoming victory.

The battalion is mobile and can deploy virtually in the open field. Both combat vehicles and motor vehicles are being repaired. In terms of working conditions the temporary shops are not inferior to the permanent ones, they have all the necessary equipment.

Soldiers called up from the reserve as part of the mobilization are performing combat tasks alongside specialists of the repair and restoration battalion of the Western Military District. Professional welders, mechanics and electricians have mastered the repair of combat equipment without any difficulty.

😂 According to him, a new wave of mobilization will be announced on January 15 after the winter holidays in Russia.

🤡 Earlier, the same people from the so-called Ukrainian intelligence promised the start of mobilization in Russia on January 5th.

🇺🇦S-300 reported destroyed to the North of Avdeevka

Let's give this some thumbs up! Make them seethe a bit! ⬇️ (post below this one, click the link to go to the channel 😀)

It was clear a week ago that the position of the AFU at Soledar was very difficult. Every day the ucranians were losing servicmen, retreating to Wagner's ironclads. And often the best infantry in the world attacked and occupied enemy positions with little support or no support at all from armoured vehicles. 

Today there are reports that the Wagner's are already in the centre of Soledar, whether this is true or not, we shall see soon. In fact, this is the best Christmas present ever. It is due to the strong will of the fighters and commanders who, even in the most difficult times, advanced when others fled abandoning their equipment.  

Not only Wagner's infantry is fighting in this section of the front, but it is the Wagner units that are the backbone and driving force behind the heavy offensive in the Bachmuth meat grinder. A battle that halted the offensive rush of the AFU to the north, forcing Kiev to shift forces to Bakhmut, throwing them into the cauldron of battle and ultimately putting thousands of soldiers to the ground. 

The time will come and historians will appreciate the events of the autumn-winter of 2022, draw conclusions and argue about these or those facts. We, all those who were fortunate in one way or another to be at the front at this time, will remember and carry in our memories the hardships and anxieties, which in the end will lead to our great victory. We are Russians after all, so God is with us! 

Merry Christmas, brothers and sisters!

🇧🇾🇷🇺 President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko visited Russian military deployed in Belarus
He talked to soldiers, asked about details of their life as soldiers and listened to what they have to say.
The very case when brothers help each other in everything.

In Strpce the people are not dispersing, even though the Kosovo police have arrived, and there have been threats from Mayor Dalibor Jevtic that those who do not leave will be fired from their jobs. He says they(the Serbs) have some guarantees. True, neither the Serbs nor the Albanians have heard of them.
