Tough, if they think that’s bad, they want to think of the poor Ukrainian troops outside in trenches defending their Country, I would give them priority heating and warmth over any of Moscow’s population.

Translation
Propagandist Simonyan uses taxpayers' money to make trashy propaganda about how Europe is freezing without gas, and hungry Europeans are secretly eating their pets from their children I didn’t make a video about how millions of Russians go to the toilet in a cesspool on the street in the cold

RT puts out their version of Christmas cheer, which was not evident in my most recent travels there, but then, I'm not certain that she is transmitting from the same planet that we inhabit.

Vlad chats about a cease fire (A.K.A. rearmament break) while his tankers seem to become more adept at running over their own conscripts than actually achieving anything other than warcrimes. It is telling that the recent video of the cream of Russia's population shooting themselves in the head rather than return and listen to Ms Simoyan's voice wraps up a quick overview of "Vlads x'lent adventure", taking Rus back a millennia in a single 3-day outing.

Whether Ukraine prevails is in the hands of the rest of the world, so who wants to see Vlad menacing more of Europe, Baltics, Finland, Norway, apparently UK, Bessarabia, and the 'Stans, than he has done to date.

Vlad can't explain away his war crimes and breaches of the treaties that his country have entered into, he is one of the final products of the USSR's education system, post his generation, his ilk were quite happy to economise on everything that wasn't grifted to their own pockets.

Happy New Year Russia, while you are fertilising Ukraines summer crops, how is it going in the SE and East? Had a look at where China is starting to show pointed interest?

I can’t find the link at the moment but Ukraine has started to inflate the damaged dinghies with expandable foam so they can put them back in service

Further to the delay in the delivery of the Danish jets - this is attributed to…

”Sources in the country's Ministry of Defense reported this;is due to the failure to fulfill a number of conditions, including the training of Ukrainian pilots, the training of mechanics and ground personnel, the condition of airfields and the organization of supplies of ammunition and spare parts.”

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valeriy Zaluzhniy, gave a press conference on mass mobilization. He also spoke about the state of the war in Ukraine.

His answers were tough, to the point. Not a word about a ceasefire, but what’s next on the battlefield 1/
