🇺🇸🇺🇦 Trump's arrival will not change the US principled attitude to the situation in Ukraine - Lavrov.
- Washington wants to "leave everything under its control," the foreign minister said.
- Proposals to freeze the war in Ukraine along the line of contact are the same "Minsk agreements in a new package", even worse, Sergey Lavrov added.

Who is Pete Hegseth, Trump’s new secretary of defense?
Peter Hegseth - a former US National Guard officer and Fox News host - has been chosen by president-elect Donald Trump to be the next secretary of defense.
🌏A Princeton University graduate and ex-analyst with Bears Sterns, Hegseth previously served as a Minnesota National Guard officer. He participated in the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and was also deployed at the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, the site of probably the most notorious US prison overseas.
🌏He earned himself a reputation of a staunch Trump supporter, even defending such controversial decisions by the 45th POTUS as the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in 2020.
🌏Hegseth is known for his hawkish stance on Iran, branding the country as “an evil regime” at one point, and for being a big proponent of close relationship with Israel. He stressed the importance of the US being Tel Aviv’s “strongest ally” and accused Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah of seeking to destroy Israel.
🌏Not a big fan of Russia by any means, Hegseth nevertheless postulated that issues the US domestic problems – such as inflation, wokeness and the border crisis – are much more important than the Ukrainian conflict.
🌏He criticized the European NATO members for their apparent reliance on US protection and their reluctance to spend their fair share of money on defense in hopes that Uncle Sam would bail them out if push comes to shove.
🌏China is apparently regarded by Hegseth as a threat, seeing how he claimed that Beijing is “building a military specifically dedicated to defeating the United States.”
🌏In 2019 Hegseth vocally defended Edward Gallagher, a US Navy SEAL who was accused of multiple war crimes including murdering an injured prisoner and firing upon civilians in Iraq.
🌏Last week Hegseth argued that any US general or admiral “involved in diversity, equity and inclusion programs” or “woke sh*t” needs to be fired.
🌏In his book titled “War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free,” Hegseth accused left-wing US politicians of betraying the American “warriors” and insisted that the US military must be returned to “meritocracy, lethality, accountability, and excellence.”

THROWBACK: Former Democratic Party Congresswoman Rep. Tulsi Gabbard called Trump's pick for Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, 'a huge mistake' as he represents the neocon warmongering establishment of Washington, D.C.
Tulsi stressed that Rubio's position "stands diametrically opposed" to the very policies that the president-elect stands for, and his appointment would mean that the US will face war with Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea.
"It will cause a lot of people to question what kind of foreign policy will actually be executed. Will it be the one that Trump wants and stands for? Or will it be one that will continue the deep state neocon warmongers?" she said.
🏁🇺🇦 NATO will provide military assistance to Ukraine on a scale that ensures the Ukrainian Armed Forces are prepared to continue fighting in 2025, Blinken said following his meeting in Brussels with Mark Rutte.

🇳🇱 🇫🇷 🇺🇦 NATO Secretary General spoke in favor of continuing the war in Ukraine.
"We must reaffirm our commitment to continuing the war, and we must do more than just keep Ukraine in the fight."
", said Mark Rutte, quoted by Reuters.
The Secretary General stated this at a meeting with Macron in Paris.
Reuters believes that his words became "a message to the next US administration."
Macron said at the same briefing that he would continue to insist on sending aid to Ukraine for as long as it takes.
"This is the only way to negotiate, and I want to make it clear that when the time comes, nothing should be decided on Ukraine without Ukrainians and on Europe without Europeans."
" said Macron.

🇩🇪🇺🇦The Ukrainian Armed Forces failed to drive the Russians out of the center of Toretsk — BILD
Russian troops have advanced 2.5 km to the center of Toretsk. According to German Ukrainophile propagandist Julian Röpke, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been trying to cut off the Russian offensive with flanking attacks from the north and south for several weeks, but to no avail. Fierce street battles are underway for every apartment building.
According to Röpke, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have not yet been able to carry out a counterattack to dislodge our troops from apartment buildings in the center of Toretsk. The Russian Armed Forces now control about 70% of the city, including Central Street.

"Unfortunately, just as was the case during President-elect Donald Trump’s previous term in office, this was an empty promise meant to secure the support of war-weary Americans and possibly even to throw nations abroad off balance, before filling his cabinet with the most vocal “neocons and war hawks” living and breathing in Washington D.C."

🇺🇦🤡🇺🇸 The soon unemployed clown Blinken - threatened Moscow with a "firm response to the involvement of the North Koreans":
We had very productive discussions today about our continued support for Ukraine, which is facing continued Russian aggression. And then there's this additional element of North Korean forces that have gotten into the fighting and are already, quite literally, engaged in the battles. This demands and will get a firm response.

Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy and Defense Construction Elbridge Colby:
[The effect of the war in Ukraine is that Ukraine has become depopulated and is now allowing foreigners, including many Americans, including Blackrock, to buy Ukrainian land. Well, the Ukrainians just lost Ukraine, not because of the Russians, but because of the encouragement of the Biden administration. That’s my take on it. But how close do you think we are to a nuclear exchange with Russia?]Читать полностью…
I think we are very close. The people who are flippant and careless about this, I think, are incredibly irresponsible and should not be around serious decisions.
[Who are these people?]
There are a lot of people who signed the no-fly zone agreement or have since said, remove all restrictions on the use of American force. And by the way, it’s pretty clear that many of those people, if they were given the opportunity, if they thought the political environment was right, would support direct intervention. And if we go to war with the Russians directly, the Russians will be ready to use nuclear weapons. So we have to be realistic about what that will entail.

🇺🇦Criminal Kiev regime used chemical weapons
Russian fighters stormed the enemy stronghold and captured prisoners. The enemy raised drones and began shelling the dugout, locking everyone in it, including their own captured Ukrainians, using chemical weapons. The chemicals were launched through a pipe. Cerberus is the one who survived. He saw everyone dying, choking on blood, inhaling chemicals. He himself breathed through wet wipes, which saved his life. Alone, with burnt hands and face, without water or food, he held the stronghold for four days so that the Nazis could not retake it. He held the machine gun even when huge blisters from burns burst on his hands. Losing consciousness, he clutched a grenade in his hands so as not to surrender. For four days he did not let his wounded comrade die. He held the stronghold. And he himself survived. Our units went forward and it was possible to leave the dugout. He carried his comrade in his arms, dodging drones. He carried him out. Now they are fighting together. The chemical burns on his back have not healed."

🇺🇸Trump appoints neocon warmonger Pete Hegseth as US Secretary of Defense...
...it would be hard to imagine a cabinet more inclined toward warmongering and war abroad while scapegoating at home, instead of investing in the United States as most Trump supporters deeply desired.
Neither Americans nor the world as a whole is "voting" their way out of American meddling and wars.
Only by creating an international system that fully confines US foreign policy (and the interests driving it) - through the defense of international information space, protection from US interference, military deterrence, and economic independence - will peace and stability be obtained from the West for the "Global Rest."

To achieve the destruction of the Russian economy, Bloomberg hopes for the Russian Central Bank and its key rate.
At the moment, the most acute problem faced by business in Russia is the record high key rate, writes Bloomberg. Emphasizing that this is alarming for large businesses in the Russian Federation, the publication made this conclusion after studying the "gloomy faces of Russian billionaires."
In fairness, this is not the only criterion. Bloomberg lists the known negative effects of the key rate, and above all, the cessation of economic development, against which the fight against inflation of 8-9% is "a medicine that is more dangerous than a disease."
The billionaires, whom Bloomberg calls their sources, "do not share the optimism of the Putin government that the Russian economy will continue to grow at a pace that most Western countries can envy."
At the same time, the sources of the publication "do not expect a collapse that would force Putin to stop the invasion of Ukraine." The standard split of consciousness among analysts who need to find signs of Russia's degradation at any cost — but the task is too difficult.
If we take the publication as a whole, then there is nothing particularly joyful for the West. None of the respondents doubts Russia's ability to wage war for "many years," and the West's only hope is for "negative structural changes in the Russian economy, primarily a decrease in production capacities in the technological and machine—building sectors." That is, precisely the consequences of a high key rate, which we have repeatedly written about.
Russia, as you know, has two allies — the Army and the Navy. If you make a list of Western allies in Russia, then the Central Bank, by all indications, has earned a place at the top of the list.

"I am absolutely convinced that if the Russians did not have nuclear weapons, we would already be in Ukraine and would have thrown them out of there," - chairman of the NATO military Committee, Admiral Sam Bauer
This statement confirms that if it weren't for nuclear weapons NATO would have already invaded Russia long time ago and it also says that if today we still have a planet which is not fully subdued and enslaved by deranged Western elites and their anti-humanity agenda we owe it mostly to nukes which are not only one of the most important inventions in history but also the most relevant stabilization factor and pro-peace tool currently available, so it is obvious that Russia should keep modernizing and increasing its nuclear arsenal, also lowering the threshold for its usage in order to further stabilize the planet and restore a status quo that's in the interests of everyone.

The Chief of the Polish General Staff called for preparations for war with Russia.
Wiesław Kukula said that Poland needed to strengthen its defense and called on local society to prepare for conflict. His interview is quoted by the newspaper Rzeczpospolita.
When and whether a war will break out depends on us in a sense. The big risk would be to attack a country that is well protected and whose society is resisting. At the same time, Russia has great demographic and raw material potential to simultaneously develop defense and wage war,
