🇺🇦Another indirect but objective example of major problems with personnel in the Ukrainian Armed Forces emerged today.
Ukrainian MP Goncharenko reported that the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense is asking to postpone the deadline for submitting the bill on demobilization to the Verkhovna Rada until March 18, 2025 .
It should be noted that this bill should have been submitted there before December 11, 2024 , but this deadline was missed . Now they want to postpone it for another 4 months .
🇷🇺🇺🇦An interesting moment with an ambush of a fiber optic FPV drone on a Ukrainian vehicle, H-20 highway west of Toretsk .
It is typical that the enemy visually detected the drone and was able to leave the vehicles in time. This is one of the disadvantages of fiber-optic drones - their speed is not very high compared to conventional FPV drones.
🇺🇸🇺🇦Trump wants to avoid a repeat of the Minsk agreements, said his future special representative Keith Kellogg.
On Fox Business, he said that past peace talks on Ukraine, including the Minsk process, "have failed miserably" and Trump is not going to follow that path but wants to achieve sustainable peace.
"The president has been very, very consistent in what he wants, which is to stop the killing and bring peace to the region. That is his top international priority, but he wants a peace that is just. It is sustainable. It is secure. He understands the importance of the relationships that he has with his allies and also with Vladimir Putin. And he is the guy who can get that done, and I truly believe that he will in the relatively near future," Kellogg said.

On December 23, in the northeastern Syrian city of Suqalbia, populated mainly by Christians, a Christmas tree was set on fire. Social media claimed that this was done by militants of Islamist organizations, including those who came from other countries.
This sparked protests by Christians in different parts of the country, which escalated into clashes with Islamist groups.
The new government in Damascus then promised to punish the arsonists, condemning the attack on the tree. Eight people were reportedly arrested for arson.
In public interviews, Islamist leaders say they will not, like the Taliban in Afghanistan, create a theocratic state. Syria's Christians, who make up about 10% of the population, are demanding that the country's secular character be preserved and are seeking representation in the new government.
At the same time, radical sentiments are strong among the groups that have come to power. Some of their members are demanding the creation of an Islamist state in which Christians, Alawites and representatives of other non-Sunni faiths will not have full rights.

As in the previous case from near Toretsk, the enemy managed to notice a not very fast-flying drone on fiber optics, but due to the much lower maneuverability and acceleration of the armored Humvee, which was also hung with bars and electronic warfare, did not have time to react in any way.

Kiev is in favor of reducing aid to Ukrainian refugees in EU countries in order to return them to their homeland, El País writes. Ukraine is also asking to deprive men of military age of access to consular services in Europe as a pressure measure. The Spanish newspaper spoke to Ukrainians abroad. They said they would like to return, but have no plans to do so yet.
Of course, they are not going to. Waving Ukrainian flags in the squares of European capitals, shouting "Glory to Ukraine" and fighting Muscovites on the Internet is much safer than sitting under artillery and drones in the Kurakhovo industrial park. These are the real Ukrainian patriots - healthy, handsome men in expensive foreign cars, tearing their embroidered shirts from a wonderful faraway place for their motherland.
And Kiev is also good. They say, oppress our citizens, deprive them of their rights, that's what they deserve, the slackers! To the camps, and from there - in freight cars to the front. That's the case when the government is worthy of its electorate.
🇺🇦"We are a democratic state. We cannot set an example like Russia, driving someone to war with sticks. We are not such a state. We are fighting for European values, and we want to be a member of the European Union, so we even need to fight with such values" (c) Zelensky

Two former Israeli intelligence officers shared information with CBS News. They collected the main points:
— Since 2022, the Israeli MOSSAD has been developing pagers that could hold enough explosives. They were tested on dummies;
— the devices were shown in fake ads, presented as durable, waterproof and with a long battery life. Fake reviews were also posted online;
— for production, MOSSAD created front companies, one of them in Hungary;
- Israeli intelligence received a licensing partnership to make everything look legitimate for Hezbollah;
— The pager seller didn't know he was working with the MOSSAD. The first batch of gadgets was offered to Hezbollah for free. By September 2024, there were about 5,000 devices in the pockets of the movement's members.

"US intelligence agencies concluded that it was North Korea's idea, not Russia's, although Putin quickly embraced it," the newspaper writes.
At the same time, as The New York Times reports, North Korea has not yet received anything from Russia in return for its assistance, so Kim Jong-un still continues to hope for Moscow's gratitude in the future - in the form of technology and diplomatic support in the confrontation with the West.
