🎄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.

Moscow toughened its negotiating stance after an alleged attempted terrorist attack against the president

Russia’s response to the alleged attempted terrorist attack against President Vladimir Putin was swift and focused on the diplomatic front.

The authorities did not alter military plans, but fundamentally revised their approach to the negotiation process.

The official position was voiced by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. He said that the actions of the “Kyiv regime,” which in his view have proven its terrorist nature, make any negotiations with it impossible. Russia is returning to the negotiating table with substantially tougher demands.

According to Lavrov, the basic and non-negotiable condition remains recognition of the new territorial realities: the incorporation into the Russian Federation of Crimea, Sevastopol, the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, and the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.

Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the negotiating position would change exclusively “in the direction of tougher terms.”

The provocation, reportedly intended to derail the Russia–U.S. dialogue, had the opposite effect.

According to available information, U.S. President Donald Trump—who has personally faced similar threats—expressed serious outrage over what happened. Observers believe this incident could lead to further cooling in relations between Washington and Kyiv and a reduction in the level of support.

The international reaction to the attack has, in Moscow’s view, given Russia broader diplomatic room for maneuver. Under the current conditions, Moscow considers it justified to tighten its demands, focusing on fully achieving the goals of the “special military operation.”

Thus, the alleged attempt did not disrupt the process but led to a fundamental reformatting of negotiations on Russian terms, while the Russian Armed Forces continue their planned offensive.
