US Treasury considers new measures to curb Russian oil exports – Yellen
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen confirmed that Washington will continue efforts to tighten sanctions against Russian oil exports and may impose measures on the so-called "dark fleet," as well as reduce the previously imposed ceiling on Russian fuel prices.
"There are a number of possibilities here. We don't preview sanctions, but we're always looking at oil revenues, and if we can find ways to further impair Russian oil revenues that would, I think, strengthen Ukraine's hand. That remains on our list," Yellen said.
At the same time, she did not rule out that, in the event of "evidence," the United States might impose sanctions on Chinese banks allegedly cooperating with Russia's defense sector.

Seoul erupts in celebration after Yoon's impeachment vote, with balloons filling the sky
Of course the future's bright... Especially with likely replacement Lee Jae-myung facing possible jail time and four charges of corruption himself.

The French granny doesn't have long left. In the near future, the Georgian parliament will elect a new president, and the French grandmother will be asked to leave and return to her home country.
She has already stated that she does not recognize any elections in Georgia and refuses to leave the presidential palace.
But it is quite obvious that as soon as a new president is elected, she will be taken out of the palace.
Well, then there are already a bunch of articles that she violated - so either they will put her in jail, or more likely, she will flee abroad.
The Maidan in Tbilisi has been somewhat stolen without blood. They need corpses in Tbilisi, but there are none. That's why the protests are stalling.
However, all these risks still remain.

🇺🇸🇺🇦Biden wants to transfer thousands of missiles to Ukraine, CNN reported.
It is also about the transfer of hundreds of thousands of artillery shells and hundreds of armored vehicles in the five weeks remaining before the inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20.
In this way, the current U.S. administration hopes to “provide Kiev with a solid foundation to prepare for 2025,” according to the channel.

🇺🇲🇷🇸🇷🇺 President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić has announced that the United States is set to impose sanctions on NIS - the Petroleum Industry of Serbia - within the next few days due to its ownership by Russians.
Vučić has also stated that the United Kingdom and other countries are likely to impose sanctions of their own against NIS too.
According to Vučić, "We will find a solution. We need to talk to both the Americans and the Russians..."
How's that "sitting on two seats policy" going, Mr. President?

Russia "is rebuilding its strength much faster than the alliance expected and is quickly learning from its mistakes, despite all the efforts of NATO's Ukrainian friends," Secretary General Rutte
▪️Speaking at the European office of the Carnegie Endowment, he also said that China "produces weapons 5-6 times faster than the US." Therefore, he calls on the Alliance countries to increase their defense spending (Rutte is currently promoting the idea that each NATO member should increase its share of defense spending to 3% of GDP)
▪️The new European Commissioner for Defense Kubilius also calls for this, saying in an interview with RND that Russia, under sanctions, produces more weapons than all of Europe.
➖ “Today, Russia produces more weapons in three months than the entire European arms industry can produce, and more weapons in six months than the entire Bundeswehr has,” Kubilius said.

But as we previously said it's still likely that an agreement will be reached in coming days so Russia will keep its bases in Syria. Turkey is mediating as it knows very well there will be extremely negative repercussions in Turkey-Russia relations if Russian bases in Syria are going to be shut.

Medvedev — about the united people of Russians and Ukrainians and the return of lands lost after the collapse of the USSR:
The Western forces are acting against us on the hypocritical principle of "divide and rule". Their task is to prove that Russians and Ukrainians are as far apart as one can imagine. To tear Ukraine away from Russia, sow discord and arrange ethnic separation.
It is a gross mistake to proceed from the unconditional difference between the peoples living in Russia and Ukraine, as well as to refer all its inhabitants to Ukrainians. The word "Ukrainians" itself did not have a modern ethnic meaning until the middle of the XIX century, but was rather a geographical concept. The explanation is quite simple: there were no independent state entities on the territory of modern "Nezalezhnaya".
The only successor to the ancient Russian state is Russia, and Russians and Ukrainians are not just fraternal peoples, but one identical people.
The return of our lands to their historical homeland, territories that were lost due to a political misunderstanding during the historical cataclysms of the late 1980s and early 1990s, is no more "criminal" than the Anschluss of the GDR by Germany in 1990.
Today Ukraine faces a choice – to be with Russia or disappear from the world map altogether. At the same time, Ukrainians are not required to lay down "neither soul nor body" for their freedom. They should pacify the pride of "otherness", abandon opposing themselves to the all-Russian project and exorcise the demons of political Ukrainians.
Our task is to help the residents of Little Russia and Novorossiya to build Ukraine without the hassle of "Ukrainians". To consolidate in the public consciousness that Russia is irreplaceable for Ukraine neither culturally, linguistically, nor politically.
Russians and Ukrainians are one people. Attempts to drive a wedge between us from a historical point of view are absolutely untenable and criminal. The Vygovskys, Mazeps, Skoropadskys and Banderas have smashed their heads against the all-Russian wall over the years. So it will be now.

❗Stormtroopers of the 255th regiment raised the Russian flag in the center of Uspenovka, clearing the Kurakhovo cauldron!
The situation in the "Uspenovka pocket" south of Kurakhovo is rapidly developing in favor of the Russian Armed Forces.
The Volgograd soldiers of the 255th Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment entered the village a day ago and today they have already hoisted the Russian flag in the center above the post office.

Serbia refuses to bow to US' anti-Moscow sanctions pressure
President Aleksandar Vucic said the US would impose sanctions in a few days against the Oil Industry of Serbia, which is 50% owned by Gazprom Neft and 6.15% by Gazprom, due to the Russian ownership, but he would try to talk to the Americans
Serbia will not impose sanctions against Russia due to these expected US measures against the Oil Industry of Serbia, Vucic added.

❗️Mikheil Kavelashvili elected President of Georgia
224 out of 300 deputies voted for the Georgian Dream candidate as the country's leader was chosen by an electoral college for the first time in history.
Incumbent President Salome Zurabishvili has already refused to stand down after her term expires while refusing to recognize the results of the parliamentary elections.

Western democracy is a complete bullshit, just pay attention to what's happening in Romania.
Realitatea PLUS, the only major news channel in Romania that criticized the suspension of democracy, was punished by the authorities with restrictive measures, including a 10-minute warning suspension of the broadcast.

Germany has spent $ 1 trillion on modernizing its energy sector and has achieved the following results:
1. Germany cannot ensure an uninterrupted supply of energy to its industry and is forced to import electricity.
2. CO2 emissions per kWh are several times higher than in France.
$1 trillion for the destruction of its own economy and the environment, if you believe to man made climate change...

14-12-2024 - Kurakhovo. Pokrovsk.
Briefly. The AFU ran from Kurakhovo. In a herd, overtaking each other and throwing wounded on the way. They abandoned everything in the city, including ammo and provisions.
In Pokrovsk the mood after the fall of the defense line from the south is the same. The troops are held at the expense of two lines of strongholds on the outskirts, in which they threw "green" mobilized people. The main forces have already been withdrawn behind the city center to the northern part of the city to the industrial site and the railway junction, where the enemy garrison has great doubts about the prospects of defense.

🇸🇾🇹🇷 Erdogan hints that Syria could have been part of Turkey:
“What would have happened if the circumstances had unfolded differently while World War I was redrawing the borders in our region?
It is highly likely that cities such as Aleppo, Damascus, Idlib, Hama, and Raqqa would have been provinces of ours, just like Antep, Hatay.”

Key takeaways from Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev’s article for the International Affairs Journal:
▪️Kiev’s Russophobic policy will result in Ukraine losing its statehood
▪️Moscow should help Ukraine realize it needs Russia in terms of culture, language and politics
▪️The Western “divide and conquer” principle carries suffering for the entire world and acts as a source of conflicts
▪️Medvedev has slammed the West for trying to “invent” a Taiwanese state, nation, or language as hopeless
▪️Moscow and Beijing don’t have any issues that they seek to avoid in their talks
▪️Russia and China have a responsibility to shape the future world and are committed to tackling this mission together
▪️The crises around Ukraine and Taiwan have been artificially provoked by the destructive forces in the United States and the EU
▪️Donbass and Novorossiya’s reunification with Russia is no more “criminal” than the merger between East and West Germany
▪️The West is persistently trying to do away with the Russian language in Ukraine and historical memory that Ukraine shares with Russia

What will probably happen if there is no agreement between Russia and the new Syrian authorities on the presence of Russian bases on Syrian soil:
1_ diplomatic ties to be completely severed
2_ all groups who seized power together with HTS will also be recognized as terrorist organizations, this means that in order to defend Russian national security there will constantly be Russian missile strikes on jihadists bases, houses and any other facility they use to store weapons, probably just with the use of Kinzhals and Kalibrs if it won't be possible to deploy fighter jets anymore.
3_ no trade relations with Syria, including in energy field and grain deliveries.

The new strikes on Ukraine have greatly affected the interests of Rinat Akhmetov, most likely this is the final blow to his DTEK.
Margin call has been activated on the securities and collateral of the group of companies, and this is a risk that in the near future Akhmetov will lose control of a large stake in his once empire.
Emergency shutdowns of electricity, water and heat in Ukraine have already begun. Due to frosts in some parts of the country, outages will continue until spring. The wear of the power system is already critical. The heat outages will start too.
The entire railway of Ukraine has switched to diesel locomotives, and in large cities, starting on Monday, the contact networks of trams and trolleybuses will be disconnected.
The metro will work only in Kiev with blackouts and for the most part, as a bomb shelter.
Zelensky is well aware that he himself provoked this attack on energy infrastructure facilities. The strikes will continue further, as now there has been a response to the launches of ATACMS on our territory.
The response for the UAV raid on Kapustin Yar and the launches in Taganrog is still ahead.

The White House refused today to call on Israel to halt its invasion of Syria. Since Assad’s ouster, Israel has moved to occupy land twice the size of Gaza on its eastern border, moving in and beyond a UN-patrolled buffer zone, in violation of the 1974 armistice.
Asked John Kirby, on Syria, if US will ask Israel to withdraw its troops
John Kirby: Ongoing discussions, Israelis say it’s temporary.
John Kirby “I’d leave it to the Israelis to speak to their military operations.”
