📰 Attempted attack on the residence of the President of the Russian Federation in the Novgorod region using more than 90 UAVs is a terrorist act aimed at disrupting the negotiation process, Dmitry Peskov said.

Peskov did not answer the question about where Putin was at the time of the Kyiv regime's attack on the residence: "This topic is not subject to any public discussion."

Key points from the briefing by the Russian presidential press secretary:

🤗 Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin maintain a relationship of trust and continue their dialogue. Such terrorist acts are unable to shake the dialogue between the presidents;

🤗 The West is trying to deny yesterday's terrorist act, playing along with the Kyiv regime. Such statements are insane;

🤗 Russia is not withdrawing from the negotiation process and will continue dialogue with the Americans. However, Moscow's position on conflict settlement will change towards toughening.

🎄The final hours of the outgoing year.

Somewhere in Russia, lights are already coming on.
Somewhere, trains are still rumbling on.
And somewhere, people are simply looking out the window — at the snow, the road, the city where they have lived another year of their lives.

This year was different.
Challenging, fast, sometimes heavy — but real.
It showed us who we are, what we can rejoice in, what we are able to endure, and what we are ready to hold on to and be proud of.

⏰ In these final minutes of the year, may warmth be close to you —
loved ones nearby, a familiar home, a familiar voice, a sense of support.
May everything unnecessary remain beyond the threshold of this year,
and may you carry forward only what truly matters.

🙏 We are not saying Happy New Year just yet.
But we can already say thank you to this year for the experience, for the journey, and for Russia that lives within each of us.
And of course, friends, thank you for reading our channel, we are incredibly happy to have such a wonderful audience. Further - more.

🇷🇺 To be continued - right at midnight.

A New Window to the World: How Sanctions Accelerated Russia’s Energy Sovereignty

As the year drew to a close, Gazprom reported significant progress on a landmark construction project—the gas processing and liquefaction plant (LNG complex) in Ust-Luga. Its readiness has reached 70%, and this is more than just a number: it symbolizes a profound strategic turn in Russia’s economy.

👔 From raw materials to technology: a course proven by time

Even before 2022, Russia had begun shaping a strategic shift away from exporting primary raw materials. The goal is not merely to sell gas and timber, but to build full-fledged processing industries inside the country. This path addresses several objectives at once:

Finished products—polymers, LNG, fertilizers—are worth several times more than raw materials, delivering far higher value added.

Building such plants creates thousands of new jobs and stimulates related industries.

The past years have only confirmed the soundness of this choice. Sanctions and the rupture of old supply chains did not stop the process; on the contrary, they gave it momentum and clarity.

👔Ust-Luga: a “Western window” of a new kind

The new Baltic complex is an answer to a changed world. If the Amur Gas Processing Plant became an “Eastern window” for cooperation with China, then Ust-Luga is a fundamentally new “Western window,” operating under modern logistics rules.

📁 Scale in numbers:
The plant will process 45 billion cubic meters of gas per year, producing:

— 13 million tons of LNG for the global market;
— Millions of tons of highly valuable chemical components for plastics, fuels, antifreeze, and high-octane gasoline;
— Up to 2.8 million tons of polyethylene.

Around 18 billion cubic meters of “purified” gas after processing will go not to export, but to the gasification of the Leningrad Region—supplying energy to Russian towns and settlements.

👔 Looking ahead

The Ust-Luga complex is more than a major infrastructure project. It is a concrete step toward deeper processing of resources, the creation of new industries, and the strengthening of economic sovereignty.

In a world where LNG demand is expected to grow by 60% by 2030, Russia is not only preserving but expanding its position—now at a qualitatively new level.
