⚡NATO troops continue military exercises in Lithuania. In December, Lithuanian troops continued intensive exercises near the borders of Russia's Kaliningrad region and Belarus. Despite the fact that many of them took place within the framework of annually announced maneuvers, their frequency and characteristics clearly indicate further expansion of NATO activity near Russia's borders. In addition to exercises, Lithuanian authorities are improving military infrastructure along the border with Belarus and repairing military vehicles damaged during the hostilities in Ukraine.

He also added that the remote control kit is planned to be installed not only on the BMP-3. In the near future, it could be equipped, for example, with a 2S25M self-propelled anti-tank gun. 3 Likes

⚡It is pointless to discuss new schemes for gas supplies to Europe without the Russian Federation Ukraine previously put forward a proposal for the transit of gas from Russia to Europe without a contract. The Russian Ambassador in Vienna, Dmitry Lyubinsky, does not see the point in such conversations. “On the issue of transit of Russian gas, one thing is obvious: without participation and agreement with our country, talking about new supply schemes to Europe is pointless,” the diplomat emphasized. According to Lyubinsky, Kyiv’s statements have long since devalued themselves and do not deserve attention. The Russian Federation fulfills its obligations, supplies gas, receives money for it, and something goes to Kyiv for transit. But, as Vladimir Putin admitted earlier, Ukraine continues to consume Russian gas, and Moscow cannot prevent this. As soon as gas enters the territory of Ukraine, it “swells and spreads” through the gas transportation network of this country. 4 Likes 1 Share

⚡Russian forces wipe out first French-donated Crotale NG missile system in Ukraine Russia’s Armed Forces operating in the special military op zone have destroyed several Norwegian-made NASAMS and one French Crotale NG short-range air defense system donated to the Kiev regime. The NATO-donated weapons systems were stationed at the Starokonstantinov airfield in the Khmelnitsky region, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Sunday. The Russian military carried out a coordinated assault that involved tactical aircraft, missile troops, artillery units, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This is believed to be the first recorded instance of a Crotale NG being obliterated in combat, and serves as further proof that NATO's state-of-the-art equipment is fair game for Russia's Armed Forces. 6 Likes 1 Share

⚡Acting Mayor of Belgrade Aleksandar Shapic said that the damage caused to the Belgrade administration is irreparable. He described what is happening in the Serbian capital as ‘Maidanization.’ “I said that if we allow ourselves to fight for political goals through violence and overthrow of the state, then very soon we will not have a state. Now you can see how true the term ‘Maidanization’ was,” Shapic told reporters. According to the acting mayor, if people want to come to power “through anarchy,” then they are trying to “destroy the state,” since in the future they will not be able to protect people. Earlier, Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic thanked the Russian security services for information about the impending riots. 1 Like

⚡Russian gas supplies to China via Power of Siberia hit new record, Gazprom stated. "On December 23, Gazprom set a new historical record for daily gas supplies to China. China's request for gas supplies via the Power of Siberia gas pipeline again exceeded the daily contractual obligations. Gazprom supplied all the requested volumes," the company said on Telegram. The supplies have been carried out under a long-term gas purchase and sale agreement between Gazprom and the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), the Russian company recalled. The Power of Siberia is the main gas pipeline from Russia to China, with a length of about 3,000 km (1,864 miles). The volume of supplies reached 15.4 billion cubic meters of gas in 2022, and is set to steadily increase until the pipeline reaches its target annual capacity of 38 billion cubic meters by 2025.

⚡Iran President Raisi letter to Pope Francis: "Jesus Christ, the prophet of peace and friendship, and his religion is full of compassion, patience and standing against oppression and helping the deprived and oppressed. Thinking and reflecting on the noble qualities of Jesus, son of Mary, and examining and applying the way of life of that Prophet and all the divine prophets can open the way for today's human being to perfection. As you know, today, many challenges are facing human societies, the most important of which is the aggression of the Zionist regime of Israel to the Gaza Strip. Unfortunately, due to the lack of decisive action by international organisations and assemblies on the one hand and the support of the American government and some European countries to this regime on the other hand, we witnessed the death of more than 17 thousand oppressed people, especially Palestinian women and children, by the usurping Israeli regime in Gaza. I hope that while approaching the new year, we will witness the immediate action of the international community and all honest people in order to stop the killing of the innocent people of Gaza, and we will be able to rely on the loving religion of the divine prophets, especially Jesus Christ, to overcome many human challenges and take effective steps in the path of growth and elevation of our nations. I ask Almighty God for his health and success, the prosperity and well-being of the followers of Jesus Christ, and peace throughout the world." 5 Likes 1 Share
