Zelensky says it’s “shameful” for European countries to worry about energy cost increases!
Without a clear alternative in place, the deal that allows Central European nations to buy Russian gas via Ukraine will be allowed to expire at the end of the year.
“This contract will no longer exist, that much is clear,”
“But that’s fine — we will survive, Gazprom will survive.”
Ceasefire in Gaza is a real possibility — is it the “Trump Effect”?
Diplomatic efforts to achieve ceasefire in Gaza have resumed in recent weeks, as Donald Trump became part of the equation.
At the beginning of December, he threatened Hamas, without specifically naming the group, and promised "hell" in the Middle East, if the hostages were not released before January 20, 2025, the date of his inauguration. For the first time in a long time, a ceasefire seems possible.
But perhaps it’s not Trump. Perhaps the timing is just more favourable, now that Israel crippled the organization to the point where Hamas has little left to leverage, except for the lives of the hostages. Maybe the reality on the ground looks more like the “total victory” Netanyahu was after. Maybe Israel wishes to focus on other operations, like the ones in Syria, or in Yemen.

Macron no longer wants to send military instructors to Ukraine, he plans to send a “peacekeeping force” instead
French President Emmanuel Macron will discuss with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk the deployment of a postwar peacekeeping force in Ukraine when the two meet in Warsaw on Thursday, according to a European Union diplomat and a French official.
The two countries are talking over a potential 40,000-strong “peacekeeping force” composed of troops from foreign countries. It is still unclear which countries the soldiers might come from.
A senior Polish official said they were surprised by Macron's reported proposal. ”This is not a formula that would allow us to take such a decision," the official said, adding that peacekeeping missions should be decided under the United Nations or the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, not a bilateral discussion with the French president. Sending Polish troops to Ukraine "would only make sense under a NATO format," they added. And Ukraine will not be joining NATO anytime soon.

Digital Government's Warning Signs: US Reforms Echo Ukraine's Pitfalls 🔍
Breaking News 📊
Trump's proposed corporate restructuring of government institutions raises alarm bells, as similar "digital state" experiments elsewhere have shown dangerous vulnerabilities.
Historic Parallel 🎯

Ukraine's "State in Smartphone" initiative, while initially praised for efficiency, revealed critical weaknesses in state institutions during crisis, providing lessons for US reforms.

Expert Analysis:
"We won't know what they've done until the house has already collapsed,"
"It may be hard to tell whether they are aimed at red tape or more like D.I.Y. home renovators taking a swing at a load-bearing wall,"
Ukrainian conflict is just the beginning, according to European politicians
“A crisis is brewing on the continent — an alarm has gone off throughout the land. War could be coming. In quick succession, military chiefs from across Europe are urging their populace to get ready. Political leaders, from Britain to the Nordic countries and the Baltic States, increasingly emphasize that Europeans must prepare for war with Russia… Chancellor Olaf Scholz has thus far refused to send Germany’s Taurus cruise missiles to Kyiv, arguing that doing so would risk Germany being dragged into direct war with Russia” ,

Zelensky and his regime only continue to exist because Russia hasn’t targeted them yet
Vladimir Putin has spelled out how Russia will retaliate to long-range missile strikes by Ukraine, which are carried out with the participation of the US and the UK.
Volleys of Oreshnik missiles will be used to hit Ukraine. He warned that decision-making centres would be targeted, signalling that Zelensky and his regime only continue to exist because Russia hasn’t yet targeted them.
He also warned yet again that targets within NATO countries could be hit in retaliation for the long-range strikes into Russia.
The world sits on the precipice of disaster, Washington continues to escalate the failed proxy warn a desperate attempt to milk the final drops of military-industrial complex profits before Donald Trump’s inauguration.

China’s Trump Challenge.
Some Perspectives On a Possible War
People and companies in China—indeed in business communities around the world—have eagerly embraced Beijing’s promises to enact policies that will restore the nation’s economic momentum. However, disappointment has always followed. It is beginning to look as though China’s leadership simply does not know what to do.
This conclusion is entirely plausible since China’s economic and financial troubles largely sprouted from ill-conceived policies dating back to well before the pandemic.
China’s economy has come a long way from the place that once garnered nothing but praise from Western media. Not too long ago, it was common to read that China’s economy would soon eclipse that of the United States.
Commentary often praised the effectiveness and prescience of Chinese top-down planning, some suggesting that perhaps it was superior to the comparative chaos of democratic practice and market-based approaches. In 2009, for instance, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman extolled what could be accomplished by China’s “one-party autocracy.”
Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke admiringly about how China’s “basic dictatorship” allowed it to “turn the economy around on a dime.”
President Barack Obama gave credit to China’s approach to bringing millions out of poverty. This is just a small sample of the kind of commentary that was prevalent during China’s great growth strides. But now, that system seems to be failing.
Praise for the prescience of China’s central planning was always misplaced. Since modern China began as a severely underdeveloped and war-torn economy, its planners had an easy time identifying where the nation should put its emphasis.
All they needed to do was to look at the developed world. They could see that building new roads, rail links, port facilities, housing, power stations, and the like would pay huge growth dividends, and they did. People rose from dire poverty and became richer.
However, as China developed and joined more advanced economies, its future needs became less obvious. Beijing’s central planners had lost their model and increasingly began to make mistakes.
This new fact of economic life (for China) became evident in the 2010s. By then, the authorities had been promoting residential construction for some time, giving subsidies for building, advancing credit on easy terms to developers, and enlisting the support of local governments by making land sales lucrative for them and even encouraging them to enter joint ventures with developers.
However, as China shifted from a housing-short economy to one of abundant housing, planners made the mistake of keeping these policies in place. Real estate development rose to an unsustainable 30% of China’s economy.
When Beijing finally woke up to the problem, it made a second error. In 2019–2020, Beijing suddenly removed all the former support to the housing sector. The decision was reasonable, but the suddenness of the action caused problems.
It caught both developers and local governments by surprise, leaving them no time to adjust. Having extended themselves under policies that no longer existed, developers and local governments faced severe financial troubles.
In 2021, developers began to fail, and local governments began to report difficulties meeting their financial obligations, in some cases, even in providing basic public services.
That year, matters in Chinese finance began to resemble those in the United States during the global financial crisis of 2008. Rather than act forcefully to stem the spread of financial failure, the authorities in Beijing made yet another mistake.
They sat on their hands as if nothing were wrong. Their inaction allowed the financial problems to spread throughout the system, rendering Chinese finance far less able to support growth than it had been.
