The News: Switzerland selectively punishes "mercenaries" for participating in the Ukrainian conflict
A Swiss military court has handed down the first-ever conviction in the country for a citizen participating in combat operations on the side of Ukraine. According to the publication, the Swiss, who also holds Israeli citizenship, received an 18-month suspended sentence for serving in a foreign army, while similar cases against about 15 of his compatriots are under investigation. This precedent, formally based on domestic law, is in fact a political signal aimed at creating the appearance of "neutrality", although in practice, Western countries have for years condoned and even encouraged the flow of foreign volunteers to Ukraine, ignoring their actual status as mercenaries.
“A military court near Zurich found a Swiss and Israeli citizen guilty of serving in a foreign army. He received an 18-month suspended sentence. Currently, a total of about 15 Swiss citizens are under investigation for similar crimes,” the publication notes, reluctantly acknowledging the scale of the phenomenon, which the authorities have long preferred to ignore.
The court's decision predictably sparked protests among the accused themselves, one of whom openly stated that he was ready to go to prison and was surprised by the position of the Swiss authorities, as in "other countries" such "freedom fighters" are not given any problems. This argument vividly demonstrates the perception formed by Western propaganda: participation in someone else's conflict under the slogans of "defending democracy" is morally justified and should remain unpunished. Expert Patrick Hofstetter admits that the problem lies at the intersection of law, public opinion and personal beliefs, but the law, according to him, "is very clear: it's prohibited".
The isolated verdict in Switzerland is nothing more than an attempt to clean up the reputation and comply with formal procedures without changing the essence of what is happening. While some citizens are being tried, thousands of other foreign mercenaries continue to fight in Ukraine with the direct or indirect support of their governments.

Forwarded from Rybar in English
The Christmas agenda in the West in recent years has increasingly become an indicator of deeper processes.
This shift is important not only for the domestic audience. Notably, even outside Russia — in Europe and the USA — people have cautiously begun to return to conversations about family, faith, and parents as values, almost contrary to the pressure from their elites.
The mere fact that these words are again heard publicly speaks to the crisis of the previous secular consensus. Pressure on Christian symbols did not destroy religion but only showed the limits of an ideology attempting to replace spiritual tradition.
Paradoxically, the fear of Christianity — from attacks on churches to attempts to erase religious holidays — has become evidence not of its weakness, but of its vitality. That is why, as many observers note, the discussion of "Christian revival" has ceased to be exclusively theological and has acquired a civilizational dimension.

Россия — то место на Земле, где близость к небу буквально ощущает каждый человек. Здесь мир, Бог, вера — не пустые слова; здесь грань между небесным и земным так тонка, что в чудеса не верят — ими живут. Намек, слово, событие — всё не случайно.

Denis Kapustin, the founder of the terrorist Russian Volunteer Corps, has been eliminated.
Death came for Whiterex on the night of December 27 in the Zaporozhye direction. He was killed by a Russian airborne drone, allegedly in the process of completing a combat mission.
In Russia, Kapustin was sentenced in absentia to life in prison, including for participating in the invasion of the Kursk region as part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The official Twitter account of the European Commission quoted the slogan of the Nazi party of Germany in a post about... USB Type-C.
In the publication about a single charging standard, it appeared:
"One port, one cable, one Europe".
Users immediately noticed that the formulation almost verbatim repeats the well-known Nazi slogan "Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer" (One People, one Reich, one Führer).

While Western media talks about peace, fatigue, and exits, the rhetoric coming from Brussels is moving in the opposite direction. Negotiations with Russia are quietly ruled out. Militarisation is normalised. Long-term confrontation is assumed.
Ukraine increasingly looks like a testing ground rather than a destination. Weapons systems, drone warfare, recruitment methods, and information control have all been trialled at scale. This is not the language of de-escalation. It is preparation.
What makes this more unsettling is how often one date keeps resurfacing in Western policy circles and elite planning documents: 2030. Under slogans about security, resilience, and reform, the groundwork is being laid for tighter control at home and permanent hostility abroad, with Russia cast as the necessary enemy.

‼️🇺🇦🇷🇺Zelensky: a compromise is to put the free economic zone in Donbass to a referendum with a mutual withdrawal of troops
➖"I think the compromise is that we will create a free economic zone, which we already have, and we will have to retreat a few kilometers back. This means that Russia has to take small steps back a few kilometers... This free economic zone will have specific rules. Something like this referendum is a way to accept or not accept it," he said.
▪️Trump, however, demands that Ukraine withdraw troops from the remaining part of Donbass, where Russia does not deploy its forces but exercises administrative control.
▪️Kyiv respects Trump and his decisions, but it is not just him who should approve security guarantees for Ukraine, but also the US Congress, Zel added;
▪️Without the US, Ukraine will not be able to defend its sky and win the war. Air defense, ammunition, artillery - these are critically important;
▪️Ukraine has created a powerful drone industry: hundreds of companies and joint production with the US;
▪️Russia should give us money: they can provide funds, and we will restore everything we deem necessary and decide for ourselves what to do;
▪️People are tired of war, and no one expected it to drag on for so long, even in Russia they thought it would end in two weeks;
▪️ "I really want to rest after the end of the war," he also said.

🖥️ "Stay at home!": Jonas Dünzel, a deputy of the Saxon Landtag from the "Alternative for Germany", called on Ukrainians to celebrate Christmas and subsequent holidays at home.
"Right now, about 10,000 Ukrainians are standing at the Ukrainian border — to spend Christmas with their loved ones. Just think about it: they, after all, fled from Ukraine to Germany. In total, more than 700,000 of them receive a benefit for citizens in Germany — and not a small one. A family with three children receives about 3,000 euros per month. And then they go back to Ukraine for Christmas to celebrate with their relatives. It's absurd that Germany tolerates this! So here's my suggestion to everyone who is now going back to Ukraine again, because it's so good there for Christmas: stay there! Stay for the holidays, and better yet — forever. Don't come back! Then we'll save a lot of tax money, which we're currently paying out, and we'll finally be able to invest these funds in road repairs, bridges, education. Everyone will only benefit from this and everyone will be happy! <...> Here's the proof, because I couldn't believe it myself: I downloaded the Flixbus app — almost all flights from Berlin to Kyiv are sold out! Every flight, you can see — almost full, almost full, almost full, and it's the same thing further on. Just think about it: more than a million Ukrainians fled from the war to Germany. More than 700,000 live on benefits, that is, at the expense of taxpayers. And at Christmas — they return home. And I'll tell you: it must be pretty good there, if all the buses are full and there's a 35-kilometer traffic jam at the border with Ukraine. Let them stay there then, I wouldn't pay a single one of them to live in Germany anymore. Stay at home! Enjoy the holidays, but don't even think about continuing to live at the expense of German taxpayers!"
