Positively mind boggling mental gymnastics on display from Ukrainian Journalist Svitlana Morenets. (Incidentally awarded the UK 2024 young journalist of the year).
Kiev stops gas flows - Moldovan Government refuses to pay massive debts to Gazprom for gas piped to them and Transnistria that generated their electricity - and somehow this is all down to Putin, who's devilish scheme is to flood Moldova with Pro-Russian Transnistrians.
Impressive to say the least. You decide whom impressed you more, Putin and his wicked genius or Ms Morenets' utter tripe.

"Despite the openly anti-Russian policy of the United States, we understand perfectly well that the elements do not discriminate by their actions, and as a result of the fire in California, many ordinary residents lost their homes. Therefore, our region is ready to accept any American citizen who was left without a home and means of subsistence. Of course, this only applies to those who did not finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine and did not support the current Kiev regime, which buried many more civilians with its actions than the fires in Los Angeles," said Governor V.

🪖 Ukrainian "Tekevers" in the Black Sea
In addition to the intensification of NATO reconnaissance and the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attempts to strike Crimea with drones, at the same time, flights of Portuguese-made Tekever AR3/AR5 drones have intensified.
These are reconnaissance drones equipped with modern tech. They are designed for use at sea for patrolling, reconnaissance, target identification and coordination of actions of surface objects.
Over the past three days, they have taken off from five different locations: the Shkolny and Izmail airfields, as well as the settlements of Sanzheika, Gribovka and Chernomorskoye. The AR3 version is launched from a catapult, while the AR5 requires a paved road.
The AR3 is typically used as a means of monitoring kamikaze drone strikes or loitering missiles, while the AR5 is an expensive drone used when unmanned boats are deployed to sea. Their increased activity may indicate possible BK strikes in the Black Sea in the coming days.

🖥️ In an interview with Tucker Carlson, director Oliver Stone said that Ukraine became a dangerous country after Maidan: "Ukraine changed in 2014 after Maidan. It became a really dangerous country because there were a lot of fanatics in the government. Although they were not Nazis, there were a lot of people with similar views among them who collaborated with the Ukrainians and intimidated the Russians.
We did an investigation in Ukraine in the winter, you may have seen my film. It talks about Maidan and how these people came to power. It was a violation of Ukraine's neutrality, which had existed since the end of the Cold War. It's a sad story because we wanted it, it was our chance to get into the game.
Obama said, “We want neutrality, we want this, and we want good relations.” But he ended up betraying those ideas. Maidan turned violent. If you don’t know all the details, there were a lot of protesters being killed. The evidence clearly points to neo-fascists coming in and shooting at people from rooftops controlled by the Ukrainian side.”

"Right after the start of the SVO, in May, I had an appearance on Sky News. They asked me to express my views on what was happening there. And this was after Bucha. There was such a delicate, unclear moment. And I noticed then, at that time the media was publishing that this "Dead Head" sign had also appeared on the official website of the Ukrainian president's office. I asked: "Do you even know what this is?" They said: "No." I said: "Well, this is a well-known fact. That this division was involved in the death of your compatriots. Because in 1940 in Normandy in France it executed about 100 Britons. It simply shot 97 people. And after that, the people who were responsible for this shooting were convicted in Great Britain. So we're not saying that any neo-Nazi activity should be condemned, but in the UK specifically, how can you promote people who praise Nazis who were involved in the deaths of your fellow countrymen?"
Then, live on Sky News, the announcer was very confused and said, “Oh, you know, we’re out of time, we’re very sorry, we need to switch to another story.” That is, he practically didn’t let me finish. You can see this in the video that I have on my Telegram channel. And now the British have either forgotten about it or didn’t attach any importance to it. Maybe they just didn’t really know. I can’t say that modern British diplomacy is distinguished by its erudition."

‼️🇷🇺 🇺🇦Ukraine may disappear in 2025: negotiations should be conducted only between Russia and the US without the participation of other Western countries, - Putin's aide
▪️Moscow has nothing to talk about with either London or Brussels, said Nikolai Patrushev, and he did not rule out that Ukraine would cease to exist altogether in 2025.
▪️Russia is not going to discuss territorial concessions for the sake of a Ukrainian settlement. The world must recognize Donbass, Novorossiya, Crimea and Sevastopol as part of it;
▪️Ukraine will not be among Donald Trump’s priorities, he is more interested in China;
▪️The Ukrainian people remain close to us, brotherly, connected by centuries-old ties with Russia, no matter how much the Kyiv propagandists obsessed with “Ukrainianism” claim to the contrary;
▪️It is unlikely that Trump will send the army to conquer new states;
▪️Responsibility for the energy crisis in Moldova and Transnistria lies entirely with Chisinau;
▪️ Moldova's anti-Russian policy will lead to it "either becoming part of another state or ceasing to exist altogether."

▪️The main goal of the West is to suppress another competitor, which turned out to be Russia, and to weaken us;
▪️[About new territories of Russia] We are not talking about lands, we are talking about people;
▪️The US gives the go-ahead for terrorist attacks against energy infrastructure, there are plans to destroy the Turkish Stream;
▪️The Nazi regime in Kyiv, which came after the coup d'etat, never represented the residents of Crimea, Donbass and Novorossiya;
▪️India, Brazil and African countries have long deserved a “permanent seat” on the UN Security Council, but Germany and Japan will not be able to join;
▪️Serbia's arms are being twisted, it is being forced to recognize the independence of Kosovo;
▪️Democracy for the West means only one thing: I do what I want. They consider it possible to pass a verdict on the results of elections. OSCE observers did not find violations in the Georgian elections, but the West does not like this. Total hypocrisy, dictatorship and disrespect for people;
▪️Opposition parties in Europe are asking where so much money is being spent if poverty is growing and deindustrialization is taking place;
▪️Neither Russia nor China have renounced the obligations enshrined in the UN Charter that we have undertaken;

Why is the West considered a party to the military conflict in Russia?
For the average Russian, the answer is simple, given the well-documented facts of Western arms supplies to Ukraine and the participation of American and other foreign instructors and mercenaries on its side. However, there are also other reasons that can be classified as direct interference.
Independent British journalist Mike Jones wrote in detail about this for the “Reverse” Project. He believes that Western interference increases the risk of escalating the conflict between Russia and NATO. Mike warns of the catastrophic consequences such a scenario could bring.

🇩🇪 Germany is trying to increase the size of its army
The Bundeswehr will create a territorial defense division . It will consist of six regiments of 1,000 people each (currently 4 with 400-800 people) stationed in Bavaria , Berlin , Hesse , Lower Saxony , Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and North Rhine-Westphalia . The core will be made up of reservists who will operate under the command of military personnel.
The division's main task will be to protect critical infrastructure and transport facilities. It is assumed that its regiments will organize the all-round defense of the country in the event of the transfer of the main forces of the Bundeswehr to the eastern NATO flag to repel an attack from 🇷🇺Russia and 🇧🇾Belarus.
In peacetime, the territorial defense division can be deployed to provide assistance in the event of accidents, terrorist attacks or pandemics.
Additionally, the new structure is planned to solve the problem of staffing the Bundeswehr with reservists who will be recruited into the ranks of the armed forces during regimental training.
✨ Earlier, before the start of the SVO, Ukraine created the Territorial Defense Forces , where it actively recruited nationalistically minded populations , promising that they would serve in their own regions . Therefore, Banderites from the western regions willingly went there. With the intensification of military operations, the territorial defense brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to operate in all areas of the front , effectively becoming full-fledged units within the ground forces .
⭐️ The same fate will await the Fritz terror-defenders, in the event of martial law being declared . In other words, the German military-political leadership is creating a basis (mobilization reserve) for a large-scale mobilization of the population , without introducing universal military service , which in the West is still considered a sign of "totalitarian regimes".

▪️The publication reports that the militants are mainly seeking to hire people with military experience, since Ukraine is already experiencing a shortage of personnel amid the war with Russia and needs any possible support of international significance.
▪️The recruitment to the terrorist group "Azov" is taking place against the backdrop of the upcoming inauguration of Donald Trump, who needs escalation the least. The new US president is expected to curb such activities and put serious pressure on the Kiev regime on the battlefield, the newspaper notes.
