🇷🇺The Russian ruble ended the year in the top-5 of the most profitable assets after platinum, silver, palladium, and gold, according to Bloomberg.
The agency notes that the ruble has strengthened by 45% since the beginning of the year and is currently trading at around 78 rubles per $1, showing the largest increase among the world's major currencies.
The key factor in the strengthening was a sharp drop in demand for foreign currency in Russia amid international sanctions, while a tight monetary policy has increased the attractiveness of ruble assets.
However, the rising exchange rate also poses problems for the economy: the strengthening of the ruble reduces the ruble revenue of oil, gas, and other exporters, which, among other things, negatively affects the fulfillment of budget revenue plans.
🇨🇳🇺🇸Reuters, citing a Pentagon report, reports that China has likely deployed more than 100 ICBMs in new silos near Mongolia.

🇷🇺🇺🇦The Western press is publishing satellite images of a pier in Novorossiysk, where an attempt to attack a Russian submarine with an underwater drone took place yesterday.
Although not very clearly, it can be seen that there is indeed damage to the pier on the left in the corner, and the submarine itself remained in a surface position.
As I wrote yesterday, my comrades from there reported that the submarine itself did not receive any damage, and the strike was directed at the pier. The Black Sea Fleet also reported that there were no damages.
🇺🇦🇷🇺🇺🇸Zelenksy confirmed that the US is urging Ukraine to withdraw troops from Donbass.
"The US is proposing a compromise - to withdraw troops, while Russian troops will not enter the region," Zelenksy stated.
🇺🇸🇻🇪 The US has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, according to Bloomberg.
The agency reported that American forces intercepted and took control of an oil tanker subject to sanctions off the coast of Venezuela, sources familiar with the situation said.
Later, Trump confirmed the seizure of the tanker, but did not provide details.
Bloomberg notes that the seizure could complicate the export of Venezuelan oil: carriers, fearing sanctions consequences, are likely to become more cautious when loading its cargo. Most of Caracas's exports are sent to China - usually through intermediaries and with significant discounts due to the risks associated with US restrictions.
🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia is currently seizing Ukrainian territory at the fastest pace since the beginning of the war, The Telegraph reports, citing the American Institute for the Study of War.
According to data from Deep State, in November, the Russian army captured 505 square kilometers - twice as much as in October.
"These successes are likely to help convince Trump that peace should be concluded on Russia's terms, and sending weapons and aid to Kiev is a waste of time," the British newspaper writes.
🇫🇷🇺🇦🇺🇸Macron warned Zelenskyy that the US may «abandon Ukraine», writes Der Spiegel citing the transcript of a phone call between Macron, Merz, Zelenskyy and other European politicians.

🇷🇺🇺🇦❗️At a meeting with the military, Putin announced the need to "create a security zone along the border with Ukraine in the area of responsibility of the 'North' grouping."
This implies the necessity of taking control of the areas bordering Russia in the Kharkiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv regions.
Other important statements by the president:

— Russian forces are increasing pressure along the entire front line in the special military operation zone
— Establishing control over several settlements in recent days is important for liberating the territory still held by the Ukrainian Armed Forces
— Success of the Russian Armed Forces in the Krasnoarmiysk direction will ensure the progressive resolution of the main tasks set at the beginning of the special military operation
— The enemy is unable to respond to the pace of the Russian forces' advance in the Zaporizhzhia direction
🇺🇦🇷🇺SBU-backed attacks on tankers off the coast of Turkey.

🇺🇸🇦🇫The shooter who killed two US National Guard soldiers turned out to be a citizen of Afghanistan, reports CBS.
Rahmanullah Lakanwal came to the US after the withdrawal of American troops from that country in 2021. Last year, he applied for asylum, which is still under consideration.
After the attack in Washington, the US suspended the processing of immigration applications from Afghanistan.
"Now we must review every foreigner who entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden," Trump said.

🇺🇦🇷🇺A peace plan of 20 points, announced by Zelensky.
1. Confirmation of Ukraine's sovereignty.
2. An agreement on non-aggression between Russia and Ukraine, monitoring on the contact line.
3. Security guarantees.
4. The number of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - 800 thousand people in peacetime.
5. The USA, NATO and Europe will provide Ukraine with security guarantees, following the example of Article 5. In the event of Russia's invasion of Ukraine - a military response and the restoration of sanctions.
6. Russia will enshrine a non-aggression policy towards Europe and Ukraine in all necessary laws.
7. Ukraine will become a member of the EU at a certain date (the date of accession will be fixed).
8. A package of global development, which will be defined in a separate investment agreement.
9. Several funds will be created to address issues of restoration. The goal is to attract $800 billion.
10. Ukraine will accelerate the process of concluding a free trade agreement with the USA.
11. Nuclear-free status of Ukraine.
12. Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant. There is no compromise. The USA proposes a tripartite management, where Americans are the main manager. Ukraine's compromise proposal: USA and Ukraine - 50-50.
13. Educational programs in schools, promoting understanding and tolerance towards different cultures, eliminating racism and prejudice.
14. Territories. The most difficult point. One of the options - Russia withdraws from the Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv, Sumy and Kharkiv regions. In the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions - "we stand where we stand". Russia wants Ukraine to withdraw from the Donetsk region, the USA proposes a compromise - a free economic zone. If there is no agreement on the formula "we stand where we stand", then the free economic zone can be adopted only through a referendum, and then the entire document must be put to a referendum.
15. Russia and Ukraine undertake not to change the agreements by force.
16. Russia will not hinder Ukraine's use of the Dnieper River and the Black Sea for commercial activities. The Kinburn Spit will be demilitarized.
17. Exchange of prisoners "all for all", the return of civilians, children and political prisoners.
18. Ukraine must hold elections as soon as possible after signing the agreement.
19. This agreement will be legally binding. Its implementation will be controlled by the Peace Council led by Trump.
20. After all parties agree to this agreement, a complete ceasefire will immediately come into effect.
🇪🇺🇭🇺Russia did not bow to the pressure of Napoleon and Hitler, but under the onslaught of Kaja Kallas, it "will definitely fall". This is how Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban mocked the bellicose rhetoric of the head of European diplomacy towards Moscow.
"Of course, there are great European traditions. After all, attempts were made to attack Russia - say, by Napoleon, right? And Hitler. They didn't succeed. And now, of course, Kaja Kallas will 'succeed' - of course..." he said, speaking at an anti-war rally in Szeged.

🇹🇷🇺🇦🇷🇺Erdogan warned Ukraine and Russia against attacks in the Black Sea, according to Daily Sabah.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on both sides to "stop attacks on civilian and commercial ships".
According to him, attacks on commercial or civilian ships "do not benefit either side in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine".
"Recent mutual attacks pose a serious threat to maritime navigation in the Black Sea. Attacks targeting commercial and civilian ships are not beneficial to anyone. We have conveyed clear warnings on this issue to both sides," said Erdogan.

Among other demands of Russia, he named the "restoration of rights" of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the Russian language in Ukraine.

🇺🇸🇻🇪Pentagon chief Hegset personally ordered the killing of everyone on board a boat suspected of drug smuggling.
This was reported by The Washington Post, citing two government officials familiar with the operation. According to them, Pete Hegset personally gave a verbal order to finish off two sailors who survived the strike on the boat suspected of transporting drugs. The operation involved the US Navy SEAL Team 6.
The order to kill the survivors is considered a war crime, for which Hegset could be prosecuted if he indeed gave it. However, it is noted that the order might have been given by Admiral Frank Bradley, not Hegset. Bradley allegedly received a promotion for this order.
In response to these claims, Hegset accused The Washington Post of spreading fake news and discrediting the US military, stating in turn that the strike mentioned in the article "complies with US laws and international law," and that the US has "only just begun killing terrorists."
🇷🇺🇺🇦The Turks said that the head of the SVR Naryshkin came to Ankara to discuss ending the conflict in Ukraine.
