NEW YEAR IN MOSCOW: NO ELECTRICITY AND NO INTERNET

In 2025 it became evident that the war is back home, to Russia, and not just to the bordering with Ukraine regions, but its capitals Moscow and Saint Petersburg. At least 600.000 people in Moscow and the region are without electricity and mobile internet. The Special Military Operation has now comeo Moscow.....

In 2025 the Kremlin turned off mobile internet all over Russia, and no, that is not a measure of defense, that is a desperate effort to hide the truth about their military, economic failures and regional protests.

Putin’s corrupt secret services sabotage his war on Ukraine | Former head of MI6’s Russia desk

“A lot of that money simply disappeared into the pockets of FSB officer and FSB businesses and was utterly corruptly embezzled from the efforts.”

Disinformation passed back to the leadership by FSB agents on the ground has caused corruption with Russia’s expenditure on Ukraine, says former head of MI6’s Russia desk, Christopher Steele.

So the whole attack on Putin's house is a lie.

Neat.

 

[Wilson23]

Look, if we go by your posts in this thread, the Ukes should have taken Moscow three times by now, and St. Petersburg twice, and they're now laying seige to Vladivostok.

And this remains true as ever.

Hey, @Rightguide, is Russia in full control of Pokrovsk yet???



How about Kupyansk???



Can Russia even defend Moscow???

We. Told. Them. So.

But it would be fair game in war, wouldn't it?

This is the power of a leader and how one should speak about war and a country's pride. Listen to Zelensky's message for the New Year to his nation:

Speech of Great Man

So the whole attack on Putin's house is a lie.

Neat.

And Trump believed it because Putin told him so.....

There's a lot of ramifications to this, not least of which is that Trump has just confirmed that US Security "Guarantees" are worthless via his own bullshit and bluster.

Trump said that "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed" after his 28 December meeting with Zelenskyy, an obvious lie. He also said Putin offered help with post-war reconstruction, including energy supplies and infrastructure development. MOreof Trump's bullshit. This is the same president who claims he has "ended eight wars" — unsupported by any objective measure — and who alleges that "Biden gave away $350 billion" in aid to Ukraine, a figure bearing no relationship to reality. He has called Zelenskyy a "dictator without elections," suggested Ukraine started the war, and pushed a "peace plan" whose original 28-point draft gave Russia terms more favorable than what Moscow sought at the 2022 Istanbul talks.

He apparanrly has also agreed to security "guarantees" for Ukraine. Within 24 hours, Trump's claim was tested.

On 29 December, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov alleged that Ukraine had tried to attack Putin's presidential residence in the Novgorod region with 91 long-range drones, forcing Moscow to reconsider its negotiating position. "Such reckless actions will not go unanswered," Lavrov said, calling it "state terrorism." This matters because Trump's 20-point "peace plan" contains a fall-back clause: if Russia claims Ukraine launched an unprovoked attack, and Washington believes the allegation, the security guarantees are voided. The mechanism Russia will use to escape any agreement is now operational.

Zelenskyy called the allegation "another Russian lie" and warned it was a pretext for escalation. "It's clear that yesterday we had a meeting with Trump. And it's clear that for the Russians, if there's no scandal between us and America, if we have progress — that's a failure for them. Because they don't want to end this war," Zelenskyy told journalists. He warned that Russia is "preparing the ground to strike the capital, probably government buildings," noting that Russia struck Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers building in September using similar justification. "Everyone needs to be vigilant right now."

The 20-point plan fails to acknowledge that the Kremlin is demanding all of Ukraine, a zone of influence over parts of NATO, and the withdrawal and dismantling of the Alliance. Putin's aims remain unchanged: "denazification" (regime change), "demilitarization" (rendering Ukraine's military vulnerable), Ukrainian withdrawal from illegally annexed regions, and neutrality without effective security guarantees. Russia has repeatedly stated publicly it has no intention of dropping these demands.

The security guarantee problem​

While little is known about the details of US and European security guarantees, several problems remain unresolved.

1. The ”fall-back” clause. The clause is still in place in the 20-point plan, fundamentally undermining the credibility of the “security guarantees.” When Russia claims that Ukraine has launched a strike against it – and when the USA decides to believe the allegation – the security guarantees are no longer valid. America’s fear of a war with Russia and its national interests will continue to define its foreign policy towards the aggressor.
2. The 15-year limit. The US has offered Ukraine security guarantees limited to 15 years. It is not clear when the clock starts. President Zelenskyy hopes the guarantees begin when Ukraine signs a peace deal. "Without security guarantees, this war cannot be considered truly over," Zelenskyy explained. He stresses that Ukraine's martial law will only end once credible guarantees are in place.
3. The referendum problem. Knowing that Ukrainians would vote against ceding territory in a referendum, Putin has signaled he will not provide security guarantees—a ceasefire—that allows one to be held.
4. No US troops. It is highly unlikely the US will offer troops on the ground—this has been long-standing policy. The Trump administration is adamant that Europe is responsible for its own security. On Sunday, Trump said he expected European allies to "take over a big part" of the effort.
5. Article 5 ambiguity. Offering "NATO Article 5"-style protection introduces the exact kind of ambiguity that NATO's European members already experience. If they don't expect the US to honor its NATO commitment, there is no reason for Ukraine to expect it. The US has already failed Ukraine three times: the Budapest Memorandum, halting defense aid, and presenting a "peace plan" that undermines Ukrainian security.
6. Russian rejection. Russia has repeatedly stated that any presence of European forces in Ukraine is completely unacceptable. "Military contingents of the so-called European coalition of the willing, if deployed to Ukraine, would become legitimate targets for Russian forces," Foreign Minister Lavrov said.

Trump's statement that "Russia wants Ukraine to succeed" illustrates how disconnected the current peace process is from reality. It is not seeking peace. It is seeking to fulfill US (read. Trump's) short-term national interests without regard for Ukraine or Europe.

Given that the USA has reneged on every guarantee it has provided to Ukraine, and Trump is even more unreliable, there's no reason at all to trust any US Security guarantees - and that Trump believed Putin's allegations of a Ukrainian attack mere;y confirms this. Trump himself has invalidateded the trustworthiness of any guarantees the US might provide.

Europe and Ukraine need to work to disconnect Trump from any negotations with Russia - all that is needed from the US is intelligence and arms sales, at least until these to are no longer required. To chieve this, Trump and Vance will need to be impeached and removed from power.

That very last paragraph is all well and good, but shouldn’t the U.S. be expected to provide DIRECT MILITARY AID in light of the minerals deal Trump EXTORTED out of Ukraine???



(To be fair, the U.S. economy under Trump probably can’t afford to provide direct Military aid to Ukraine…)



We. Told. Them. So.

Yeah, but we all know that was just an extortion attempt on Ukraine and Trump never meant to deliver a thing.

RUSSIA ATMS BLOCK LARGE CASH WITHDRAWALS

Russian banks have started temporarily blocking large cash withdrawals at ATMs and calling customers to confirm transactions, Meduza reported on December 31.

The Russian banking system is literally running out of money. Ordinary citizens have been withdrawing trillions of rubles. We've seen this before with monetary system crashes in other countries. The reality is he Russian banking system is imploding and the economy is begging to crash in slow motion....

Putin Is DOOMED... Russia's Military Will COLLAPSE in 2026​

Experts have long predicted Russia’s defense industry was on the brink, squeezed by sanctions, labor losses, soaring costs, and shrinking exports. Yet production has persisted even as factories face shortages, unpaid orders, and repeated strikes.

Ukraine's True Workhorses: What Actually Stopped Russia in 2025

Ukraine’s top 5 weapon systems of 2025 were a mix of old and new, donated and homemade. Plus two honorable mentions!

They weren’t the flashiest platforms or parade favorites, and in this video I rank the five systems that actually carried the war day after day. This isn’t about brochures or hype. It’s about what survived jamming, mud, drones, and constant pressure and still delivered results.

I walk through why FPV drones dominated the close fight, how long-range strike drones like Flamingo reshaped depth warfare, why Patriot kept the lights on, how HIMARS continued punishing Russian logistics, and why the F-16 became a long-term force multiplier rather than a quick fix. These are Ukraine’s true workhorses of 2025, plus a couple of honorable mentions that narrowly missed the cut.

Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the heroes. Crimea is Ukraine.

Ukraine Knocked Out the Power in Moscow

Jake Broe is almost always a little behind other commentary but his analysis is always good.

Ukraine has successfully knocked out the power in Moscow, giving residents of Russia's capital the experience that Ukrainians have endured for 4 years. Russia claims that Ukraine attempted to assassinate Putin by attacking his residence with 91 drones. However Russia has provided no evidence for this attack and none is appearing on social media.

10 Strikes, 1 Night: Ukraine’s New Year Blitz - Happy New Year, Russia

Ukraine kicked off 2026 with a coordinated precision campaign targeting 10 critical military and infrastructure hubs. Led by the Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) under Commander Robert "Magyar" Brovdi, the operation focused on a wide geographic spread to force Russian air defenses to overextend during the New Year transition.

Zelensky’s New Year Address: Trump Just Got Put on Notice

In his 2026 New Year’s address, Volodymyr Zelensky delivered a message that was as much a diplomatic chess move as it was a holiday greeting. Fresh off his high-stakes meeting with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, Zelensky used the global stage to clarify that while a peace deal is "90% ready," the final 10% is where the battle for Ukraine's soul will be won or lost.

He drew a firm line: Ukraine will not accept a "weak agreement" or a "Budapest-style piece of paper." By emphasizing that any deal must be ratified by the U.S. Congress and European parliaments, he effectively put the onus on the Trump administration to deliver not just a ceasefire, but ironclad, enforceable security guarantees. It was a masterclass in leveraging "Peace Through Strength" back toward the West.

What a great spokesperson for his country - Zelensky s everything Trump wishes he was but can never be,,,,,
