⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary for 19 Dec 2023 by 19:35⚡️

🔹In #Kherson Direction, fierce fighting continues in #Krynki. Ukrainian resources are publishing quite plausible, footage of drones hitting our armoured vehicles and TOSs. Obviously, the work of the enemy's UAVs remains dense. Despite this, it is reported that our army retook some more positions in #Krynki.

🔹In #Zaporozhye Direction, both sides are in active defence with localised battles, trying to improve their positions near #Rabotino and #Verbovoye, without large-scale actions. The work of artillery remains dense on both sides. It remains to be seen whether this section of the front will stabilise in its current position or whether our army will continue to take back positions along the #Rabotino - #Novoprokopovka - #Verbovoye line.

🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, on the #Vremyevka ledge, our artillery has become more active. Perhaps in preparation to move the front. South of #Novomikhaylovka, in the area of the industrial zone and the cemetery, our units have consolidated their positions. From the ground they report powerful attacks by our forces. And also that the AFU are withdrawing from the first line of defence.

🔹In #Donetsk Direction, our forces are preparing with artillery to storm the huge fortified area, the #Avdeyevka Coke Plant. Though smaller than #Mariupol's Azovstal, it was the largest coke plant in #Europe. Now the AFU are moving their units from the #Zaporozhye direction. Heavy battles are to be expected.

🔹In #Bakhmut Direction, they report that the approaches to the city have been cleared from the AFU. Our military have moved even closer to #Krasnoye (#Ivanovskoye), taking control of positions near the #Chernobylets settlement. Our military is clearing it out. Around #Kleshcheyevka, the assault on AFU fortifications continues. Near the Valyanovsky Nursery, our army forced the AFU out of the forest plantations, with a significant part of the enemy forces surrendering. The route to Chasov Yar is under our fire control.

🔹In #Svatovo Direction, the assault on #Sinkovka continues. Our military have so far failed to turn the situation in its favour, despite their numerical and technical advantage. In the scenario of a breakthrough, the AFU in #Petropavlovka will face a semi-encirclement. And this is already the approach to #Kupyansk. Therefore, the AFU are fighting so fiercely for these positions. Our positions in the forest area near #Sinkovka were subjected to massive shelling by artillery. The defeat of several APCs has been confirmed.

📰 Presidential Aide Nikolay Patrushev gave an interview to Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper (January 14, 2025)

Key points:

#USA

• The US establishment has been divided and lacks a common policy vision for the world and domestically.

• Trump’s core message is that he supposedly has a plan to revive pragmatic politics in the United States, which is expected to benefit both the state and its people. It has yet to be seen how this compares with the interests of other countries and nations.

• If Trump’s first term as president is any guide, the infamous deep state has a lot of clout in the USA. It can prevent Trump from pursuing his agenda.

• Trump will not view Ukraine as a priority. China is a much bigger concern for him.

• Trump has outlined his interests regarding Greenland, the Panama Canal, Mexico and Canada. There is an American tradition that consists of reshaping the world map to suit the US interests and interfering in the affairs of other countries across various continents.

• It seems unlikely that Trump sends the army to invade new states for the United States, as some have been saying. What is clear, however, is that the new administration will be proactive in asserting its interests in its dealings with all these countries.

#ChinaUS

• I believe that disagreements between Washington and Beijing will escalate, and it will be the United States that will intentionally fan these flames.

#RussiaChina

• For Russia, China has been and will remain a key partner as part of our privileged strategic cooperation. These relations are immune to momentary consideration and will endure regardless of who gets into the Oval Office.

#Ukraine

• Talks on Ukraine must take place between Russia and the United States without any other Western countries.

• The people of Ukraine remain a kindred, brotherly nation with our ties reaching back centuries, no matter what the Kiev propaganda mouthpieces say in their Ukrainisation frenzy. We do care about what is happening in Ukraine.

#Moldova

• Chisinau must be honest with itself and stop deceiving its people. The Moldovan authorities must recognise their mistakes and get down to mending fences instead of searching for enemies inside the country and in Transnistria.

#Europe

• We have nothing to discuss with either London or Brussels. For example, EU leadership has long lost the right to speak on behalf of many members including Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Romania and several other countries which are interested in ensuring stability in Europe and have adopted a balanced position towards Russia.

Today's Europe is being destroyed by an extremely merciless karmic punishment. No-one could have foreseen the scale of Europe's destruction by unarmed people who came to Europe in the millions, got benefits, and an immunity from the local laws. The scale of the destruction is Biblical.

The Europe's elites used the "divide and conquer" method for centuries to profit from the "Global South" by using locals against locals. The countries of those regions have historical records of how many locals died due to European activities, how many valuables were taken to European museums, etc.

And now is the Europe's turn to suffer, apparently. Judging by what's happening, karma has decided to punish Europe with a massive invasion of young foreign men who - judging by the crimes that the EU tries to hide - can kill, rob, and rape whomever they want, without any response from the local police. The European elites once robbed Africa and the Middle East, and now European plebs are suffering the revenge.

Deep fried France and Germany

The EU leaders don't want the EU citizens to have the ACs. Why? Ask the European leaders in their artificially cooled mansions. The memes about Europeans suffering from the heat while the rest of the planet simply uses the magical cool air boxes are everything by now.

Last week both Germany and France - two super powers of (continental) Europe - were deep fried by the Sun. People suffered, and even died, from too much heat. Emergency services did what they could, but their efforts weren't enough for many victims of the Sun.

The machinery suffered as well - photos of melted traffic lights and whatnot are being meme'd about as well.

Supposedly the situation will improve slightly on this week. Key word - supposedly. Best wishes to the suffering Western European commoners. I hope they will install the ACs after this summer - by force against their own governments, if necessary.

Crazy weather, and the food security

Much of Europe is suffering from a stagnant high-pressure zone known as the "heat dome". In Spain, France, and Italy, temperatures reached 45°C.

The heat caused massive, uncontrollable wildfires that forced people to evacuate their homes in France, Spain, Greece, and Turkey.

Excessive evaporation caused by extreme heat quickly leads to rivers drying up, crops being destroyed, and reservoirs drying up.

Meanwhile the East, South, and Southeast Asia are experiencing an unusually severe flood and monsoon season. Warmer air holds more water vapor, leading to much heavier downpours than in previous decades. China, Korea, Japan and India suffered the most - casualties wise.

Both Europe and Asia can't properly grow food in such conditions. Plus there is the problem of raw materials for the fertilizers, caused by the USA\Iran situation in the Strait of Hormuz. Billions are under a risk of future starvation.
